Assurelink, the provider of e-commerce services to financial advisers, has introduced a new element to its website, "The Pensions Resource". It is intended as a reference guide on legislation and Revenue practice relating to pensions.

The guide has detailed information on Approved Retirement Funds, private health insurance and social welfare benefits. It can be accessed through www.assurelink.ie.

It is intended as a one-stop-shop reference guide for pensions practitioners and other professionals who need to be aware of legislation and issues relating to pensions.

It would also be useful for people who want to get to grips with the increasingly complex pensions options.

Assurelink is a joint venture between eight of the biggest life assurance companies in Ireland.
