What company gives the best returns. Is there some sort of best buy table?

Try Scottish Widows, Standard Life, Legal and General.

It all depends on how the investment inside the pension performs and that is very often overlooked. By all means use a best buy table but it must compare the same type of underlying investment. It is no good comparing L&G With Profits Fund, with Standard Life Managed Fund, and Prudential UK Equity fund.

As Sweet G says,it's not about the company but the individual funds and most of the big names will have at least a dozen funds to choose from,but a lot will depend on your current age and your attitude to risk.

If you are 20 then you can afford to put your money in a more riskier fund as the returns over potentially 40-50 years are likely to be good.

However if you are 50 then you will have less time to ride the ups and downs of the stock market,so perhaps a with profits fund might be more suitable.
