About The Company:
ClearGlass is a fintech startup that just raised a seed round from some of Europe’s most notable investors, including the backers of Revolut and Spotify.
We’re on a mission to help people across the world live a more comfortable retirement. We’re doing this by bringing much needed transparency to the pensions industry.
Almost everyone in the UK has a pension with a pension scheme. Pension schemes invest their members savings in asset managers, with the intention of increasing the value of the pension over time. In return for managing a pension fund’s savings, asset managers charge fees.
Before ClearGlass, pension funds had little understanding of what asset managers were charging them due to a lack of transparency in the industry. But by using ClearGlass, pension funds can:
- Discover exactly how much asset managers are charging them
- Compare costs between managers and against the market
- Negotiate better deals with asset managers
The end result is that pension schemes spend less money on asset managers and pension scheme members will retire with a larger pension. If your pension scheme can reduce costs by just 0.25%, you will retire with a pension that is 7.5% larger.
Launched in January 2019, in less than 2 years we’ve onboarded over 400 Asset Managers, over 300 pension funds, and over £500 billion in assets. Last year ClearGlass was named Financial Technology Innovation of the Year and Tech Nation Rising Star. After the completion of our seed round we are now ready to scale and fulfil our ambition of bringing transparency to the savings industry so you can retire with a healthier pension. We’d love for you to join us on our journey.
