    dunstonh,

    Thank you for the answers!
    You said Aviva's plan is simple but not the best ... do you have any better products you recommend to look at?

    Well, see an IFA then. Use this link to find your local one.

    Cheers,

    As an IFA I cannot do such a thing as that would be an FSA breach. There is also no way to tell which one would be best for you. There is no one best option. These things need to filter down. In your case, anything is better than nothing but in the case of an IFA, they have to give you best advice. There is no way to tell what that would be but I would put money on it not being a stakeholder pension. You need to decide if you want a middle of the road option for investments and charging but simple or a better option but requires a bit more effort of understanding.
    I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.

    I have sent you a private message, is it possible to discuss things with you through there?
