The Pensions Regulator has indicated that AE compliance will be their main focus and for many businesses this will be their first venture into a complex area.“Intermediaries can therefore create tremendous goodwill and income by offering this service, as well as showcasing their knowledge and expertise to new clients.“However, some advisers may not wish to conduct AE business and our system means that these partners can refer leads which can be redistributed. As a result, Sandringham’s partners are able to work with a higher number of clients across a wider range of services.”A number of Financial Planning firms have launched auto-enrolment services.
