FOR PENSIONS INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS
a comprehensive product and Provider database...a discussion forum
This website offers a live comprehensive database service, for Independent
Pension Industry Professionals to search on SSAS and SIPP Providers, and on Small
Self-Administered Pension Scheme or Self Invested Pension Plan products
from over 200 British Providers
of SSASs and SIPPs.
Independent Pension Industry Professionals need to be kept informed about the many
products and the Providers of those pension products.
It is a difficult task for IFAs to keep up to date with
Providers and their staff, (there are over 200 or them) never mind about
the products they offer, and our online comprehensive database tool offers
a paying Subscriber (an IFA, pension professional, or other industry professional)
comprehensive data in order to facilitate a better more informed and educated
choice of Provider or product.
Providers of SSAS and SIPP products, input online all the data about themselves,
their staff and their products, into the database.
The information is both
as accurate and as up to date as the Providers themselves keep it.
If information is missing it is because they have left it so. It is important
to point out that we make regular efforts to ensure that the data is as
full and accurate as possible, but we are in the hands of the Providers
themselves.
A Providers record paints its own picture.
DISCUSSION FORUM
We also offer an online discussion forum for industry professionals.
FUNDING AND OWNERSHIP
are we biased or unbiased?
the-S-files Ltd, the architect of the database, is a privately owned company with an actuary on the Board.
The live online comprehensive database of over 200 SSAS and SIPP British Providers, giving details of the services they provide, their location, the insurance cover in event of industry failure, staff qualifications, and the SSAS and SIPP products they offer to the Pensions Industry is comprised of data the Providers themselves freely input online at no charge.
We are funded by yearly-only subscriptions taken out by Independent Pension Industry Professionals, accountants, solicitors, lawyers, actuaries, and other industry pension professionals for access to our database.
In addition we offer paid advertising.
ADVERTISING
SSAS or SIPP Providers can advertise their SSAS and SIPP products, their Company, or maybe a job by the use of paid banners (bannerads) which will strategically appear on the most appropriate page (using a web based banner advert server, www.adscheduler.co.uk written by our web design company).
Advertising banners can be purchased (£60 per month plus VAT) by any of the SSAS and SIPP Providers, who wish to get their Company or product (or advert) seen by all members of an industry group, IFAs for example, who log on to interrogate the comprehensive database.
Banners taken out on results pages cost £100 per month plus VAT.
Advertising banners can be purchased by any Subscriber (Independent Financial Adviser, accountant, lawyer or other industry professional), who wishes to get their Company, services or message seen by Providers (or any other group, accountants, lawyers) who log on to add or update their entry. or subscribe.
There is also an industry jobs section. Provider job adverts will be seen by the target group of job advertised, ie if the job is for an actuary then when they log in the banner ad server will serve up to the web page that specific advert.
All banners are targeted and will only be seen by the target audience.
We also offer a short text paragraph message (£150 plus VAT per message) on the regular emails we send to the key Industry personnel registered to receive our emails, both Subscribers ( IFAs, Solicitors, accountants, actuaries etc etc etc) and Providers (pension and insurance industry companies).
