Source Pensions has launched an online fund platform designed to increase flexibility for both employers and employees around workplace defined contribution (DC) schemes.

The platform, Root, is designed to allow employers and employees to control their pension scheme, access information and contact their independent financial advisors (IFAs) quickly and easily.

Employees have around-the-clock online access to the fund platform, including full scheme information and documents.

Clare Mulligan, director of Source Pensions, said: “We decided to bring Source Pensions to the UK to provide a more interactive, flexible and user-friendly pension scheme for employees and employers alike.†

"Employers and employees have 24/7 access to all their pension scheme data, which should not only help build more trusting relationships with their financial advisers, but also improve widespread engagement and interest in pensions.”
