Following the regulations set in April 2018 by the Department for Work and Pensions, trustees are required to make all costs and charges information publicly available. This is to allow scheme members to see if they are getting value for money and to help drive better outcomes for them.
The costs and charges to pension scheme members are for administration and transactions, for example:
To support Trustees and members of relevant pension schemes, we have made costs and charges information available online - please click on the link below to find out more.
We send out these questionnaires annually to help us ensure our records are complete and accurate.
As part of that process we ask that Trustees or scheme administrators let us know as soon as they can if there is a change in the information previously provided to us about employers and Trustees.
To help with that, additional copies of the questionnaires can be downloaded using the links below. Search for the product type then use the Scheme or Plan number to select the right one. Typically, each product type will offer two versions of its questionnaire:

These focus on the disclosure and publication of the charges and transaction costs by Occupational Pension Schemes Trustees and managers to their members.
Our funds section has a library of funds for you to search through as well as other useful information.
Get information about your existing plan, manage your plan online or find out more about workplace pensions.
Take a look at what your responsibilities are as an employer when it comes to automatic enrolment.
Costs and charges are the cost to you of investing in one of Prudential's investment options. You'll find more information on what costs and charges may apply to your investments by searching for your scheme.
Charges mean all administration charges except: court orders, charges for earmarking or pension sharing, winding up costs and payment of death benefits.
Examples of administration charges are annual management charges, switching fees, allocation rates, premium related fees, set up fees, policy fees, exit charges and deferred member charges (Paid Up Pension charges). Charges for advice are not considered to be administration charges.
The primary responsibility lies with trustees and managers to be compliant with the legislation. As a scheme provider, Prudential has a key role to play in supporting trustees to be able to fulfil their obligations.
Where available, all information on charges is online for relevant schemes.
Transaction costs are costs incurred by funds when the investments they hold are bought or sold. Examples of these include bid-offer spreads, taxes and broker commissions.
Sometimes there may be delays in getting all transaction cost information. Where data is available, we've published this for relevant schemes, and we'll continue to update our transaction cost information as we receive it.
The Prudential With-Profits Fund is only available through Prudential. It is not available to investors outside of Prudential so it doesn't need an ISIN. Information on the With-Profits Fund is available in the Fund Guide and/or Fund Fact Sheet.
The Prudential Deposit Fund is part of the Prudential With-Profits Fund. Its assets are invested in the Prudential With-Profits Fund and provides a declared rate of interest (based on the Bank of England base interest rate) and makes no charges on the money invested. The rate of return applies irrespective of the nature of, or investment return on, the underlying investments in the Prudential With-Profits Fund. Information on the interest applied to the Deposit Fund is available in the Fund Fact Sheet.
If your scheme isn't included and you believe that it should be, please contact us.
You'll find the costs and charges information you need for your Chair Statement for relevant schemes on 'Search for your pension scheme'.
To help Trustees of relevant schemes, Prudential have:
If the information needed isn't on our website, please contact us.
Prudential can provide you with one year and five year net investment return information which can be included in your annual Chair’s Statement and used to complete the Value for Members’ assessment. If you believe you are required to provide this, and don't receive an Investment Returns Summary (IRS) at the end of your scheme year, please contact us to request one.
Yes, for relevant schemes example illustrations are available online.
We've updated the basis of our illustrations to make them specific to your scheme.

Note: your new 2021 illustrations can't be directly compared with your original 2021 illustrations.
