Royal London Ireland expands into pensions market

Royal London Ireland will initially launch a personal retirement bond and an approved retirement fund . These pension products will have no fixed or monetary policy fees and no fund-switching charges.

“This expansion represents the next stage of development in our ongoing growth in Ireland. We’re in a position where we’re market leader in broker protection products and where we have increased our broker protection estimated market share from 22.5 per cent to 30.2 per cent since 2020, so we have a strong distribution platform to build from,” Mr Freeley said.

In the UK, Royal London is the largest mutual life and pensions provider looking after about 21,000 workplace pension schemes with more than 1.6 million members. It had assets under management, managed by Royal London Asset Management , of €174 billion as of the end of June 2022, including funds managed on behalf of third parties. Overall it has some 8.8 million policies in force and more than 4,200 employees.

“Royal London Group is a major provider of pensions in the UK and I hope this expansion into the pension market in Ireland illustrates our ambition for Royal London Ireland, our long term and ongoing commitment to the broker market, and the opportunity to replicate our success in the UK pensions market,” Mr Freeley added.

Royal London Ireland’s company heritage goes back almost 200 years to the Caledonian Insurance Company’s first office opening on Dublin’s Dame Street in 1824. It is now based on St Stephen’s Green.
