Scottish Life has been helping people plan for their financial future since 1881. Our business is to provide pensions and to help ensure our customers enjoy financial freedom in their later years. We're proud to play such an important and valuable role in our customers' lives.
We believe passionately in independent financial advice and only sell our pensions through financial advisers. As a result we don't spend money on expensive advertising campaigns or running high street branches - we prefer to use that money to give you the best possible pension.
The pensions specialist
We call ourselves pension specialists. This means that we focus on pensions which we like to think is just part of the reason why we are good at what we do. But you don't have to take our word for it - our long list of industry awards proves it. Everything we do, from our carefully selected investment choices to our excellent customer and online service, is designed to help our customers save for their futures.
Royal London
We're part of the Royal London Group, the largest mutual life and pensions company in the UK. That's reassuring for anyone who saves with us.
Being mutual puts us firmly in control of our own destiny. This is important when we're setting up long-term services for long-term clients.
Royal London has the structure and reporting systems of a plc without all the cost. There's no 10% dividend to shareholders so our operating expenses are lower and we can focus on being a well-run business that provides real value for all our customers.
We don't have a large, anonymous overseas parent so which should help to assure you that Royal London is here for the long term.
