Customer Centre for heritage Equitable Life

Welcome to the Utmost Life and Pensions enquiry page.

Even though you are not able to access your personal details online at the moment, you can find a range of information and forms to download below. We know policyholders would like to service their policy online, so we are looking to make improvements so policyholders can more actively manage their policies with us. We are committed to making these changes and are now considering our plans and timescales for building and introducing this type of service and will let policyholders know when it is available.

The Customer Centre below currently provides information for our individual policyholders. If you are a trustee, or a member of one of our group schemes, please click here to enter the Group pension schemes section. Alternatively, trustees can contact us by phone or email - click here for contact details.

To help us get your enquiry to the right team as soon as possible, please let us know how we can help you today.

What are you looking for?

A policy value

Did you know…..

  • You can find a policy value as at 1 April on the Annual Statement we sent to you at the end of April.
  • Your Annual Statement will detail the number of units you have as at 1 April 2020. You are able to calculate the current value of these units by simply multiplying the number of units by the daily bid price of the fund(s) you are invested in. You can find the current bid prices here here.
  • It is important to note that unit prices can go down as well as up

*If you have paid money into your policy, taken money out of your policy, or are still transitioning into different unit-linked funds following the transfer from Equitable Life, the number of units will be different to those shown on the statement.
