Retirement Partnership launches IFA consultancy

Retirement Partnership, the free online support centre for advisers, has launched an IFA consultancy proposition.

Its IFA consulting team aims to help advisers keep track of changes in the pensions market. Members of the team will visit IFA firms and work on developing its retirement service model, including a charging framework based on either fees or commission.

‘We have developed a series of our own process tools which we can offer the adviser firm, or we can work with firms to develop their own bespoke services,' said managing director Steve Lewis.

'An additional advantage of much of this work is that the principles are then transferrable onto the other sectors of the IFA business, such as investments, and mortgages.’

Retirement Partnership will also share its branding with clients as part of a ‘partnership’ programme.
