Lost track of your pension pots?

No problem, we’ll find them for free and round them up into an AJ Bell Ready-made pension

Find my pensions

Your pensions, found, invested and managed

Our free pension finding service tracks down your lost workplace pensions and brings them together into one low-cost, low maintenance AJ Bell pension.

Having your retirement savings in one place means you pay just one low-cost annual fee instead of multiple charges. All you'll need to do is choose from four AJ Bell funds to invest your pension into.

  • Free pension finding service

  • Low cost and low maintenance

  • 6 x Which? Recommended investment platform

Tell me how

The value of your pension can change, and you could lose money as well as make it. Tax and pension rules apply. Combining pensions isn’t right for everyone. By making the Ready-made pension and AJ Bell funds available to you, we’re not making a personal recommendation. Remember, you cannot usually access a pension until age 55 (57 from 2028).

Three steps to simplify your pensions

1

Set up your account

It only takes a few minutes to set up an AJ Bell Ready-made pension. We just need some simple details about you to get started.

2

Choose how your pension will be invested

Pick one of our four low-cost AJ Bell funds to invest in. Any pensions we find will be automatically invested into your chosen fund, so you don’t need to do anything.

Our team of experts manage the fund for you. And if you decide you want to switch funds at any time, just let us know.

You’re ready to find your lost pensions

Finally, we’ll need to know a bit about your previous employers, to help us get to work finding your pensions. We can search for most pensions, but there are a few we can’t help you find.

You can track our progress on your pension finder dashboard.

Is the Ready-made pension right for you?

We’ve created the Ready-made pension for those who want a low-cost, hands-off personal pension. It may be right for you if:

  • You've lost track of old workplace pensions, and want to find them for free

  • You haven't got the time or confidence to manage your pension investments

  • You're happy with a choice of four funds, managed for you by AJ Bell experts

  • You don’t need to access your pension for at least 5 years

If you want to have full control of your pension investment portfolio, want access to our entire range of investments, and want to access your pension sooner, our Self-invested personal pension may be more suitable for you.
