In recent weeks, LinkedIn and other platforms have become full of posts about Auto Enrolment, from how the contributions work, the opt-out rules, to the role of the Central Processing Authority.
But what about the adviser? Is the only revenue opportunity for the adviser to expand the eligibility of the current plan to widen the net for all? What if the employer does not want to do this and, like many, opts to just auto-enrol all the ineligible plan members?
So, after all the talk about auto-enrolment, do these members fall outside the adviser’s scope and represent no revenue opportunity? Well, if the employer is directly remitting contributions to the Central Processing Authority and there is no advice element, it would sound like that.
Communication challenge
The biggest challenge for advisers with traditional group pensions has always been communication. Outside the renewal meeting, there is not a lot of opportunity to keep in contact with members to boost the brand or grow revenue. With auto-enrolment, the opportunity will be non-existent as the employees are not in the scheme and advisers have no forum for keeping in contact.
PensionsVault
PensionsVault has been designed to keep employees focused on the adviser's brand, to create engagement, branding, and revenue opportunities.
For auto-enrolment, PensionsVault can be the pensions portal for the company, scheme or AE members. Giving all employees access to PensionsVault directs their focus to the adviser's brand and opens a critical link between the adviser and the AE employee. PensionsVault can transform the connection between the adviser and all staff, not just scheme members.
