Our relationship with Foster Denovo

Secondsight is a specialist Employee Benefits team operating within Foster Denovo Limited, a national firm of Independent Financial Advisers. Secondsight specialise in the research and development of employee benefits and its communication. A significant proportion of this communication involves providing employers and employees with financial advice and is deemed a financial services regulated activity. To deliver this part of the communication, specialist Foster Denovo advisers who have Secondsight Accreditation are deployed.

" ...one of our goals was to increase employee participation of the pension scheme, but to have a 99% take-up has far exceeded what I thought possible. I have not heard of any employer who has achieved that."
