Company pension through Capita?

iwilson16

I'm about to start working for a company whose pension scheme is administered by Capita.

Does anyone know how extensive the range of funds offered is? How does it compare to, for example, a Fidelity SIPP?

Annoyingly we cant see the range until we actually start. The pre-employment benefit registration forms just list a number of lifestyle options.

I'd like to get the complete list so that my IFA can pick suitable funds for me.

Thanks

Capita is not a pension provider. It is a pension administrator. It will administer lots of different types of schemes and no two schemes will be the same.

How does it compare to, for example, a Fidelity SIPP?

Theoretically, it could be like a SIPP but realistically it will be nothing like the SIPP. You can't compare retail individual options with non-retail company pension options.

I'd like to get the complete list so that my IFA can pick suitable funds for me.

You will get it at some point but you cannot look at other schemes administered by Capita as you don't know what your employer has instructed them to offer.
