While we have extensive experience helping bp employees and alumni optimise their benefits, Emery Little operates independently and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the bp group, including BP Pension Trustees Limited, on behalf of the BP Pension Fund. This allows us to provide objective, independent guidance focused solely on your best interests.

We specialise in helping busy Leaders convert their bp compensation packages into meaningful financial security, without demanding more of your limited time.

Making sense of your bp pension choices

Whether you’re in the DB scheme or, more likely, the bp DC2010 pension with Aegon, your pension will form a crucial part of your financial future. We’ll help you understand the impact of contribution levels and investment choices, ensuring you’re not simply defaulting to standard options that may not be optimal for your situation. By examining how your pension fits into your broader financial picture, we can identify potential gaps and opportunities to enhance your retirement lifestyle.

Unlocking the full value of your bp share schemes

We understand the array of bp’s share-based compensation offerings, including Performance Share Plans (LTIPs), Restricted Share Plans (RSP), Deferred Bonus shares, and Sharesave/SAYE schemes. Each of these represents a significant component of your overall compensation. We’ll help you develop a strategy for when to hold, exercise or diversify these positions, ensuring you understand the tax implications of each decision. With your bp shares often representing a substantial portion of your wealth, our expertise can help you balance potential growth with concentration risk, integrating these valuable benefits into your broader financial picture.

bp’s comprehensive cafeteria of benefits gives you choices about how to allocate your flexible allowance—whether toward additional pension contributions, private medical insurance for family members, or taking it as cash. We’ll help you evaluate these options alongside your core benefits such as life assurance and income protection. For your annual and performance-related bonuses, we can advise on whether to take them as cash now or defer them into shares through bp’s share schemes, weighing up the tax implications of each approach. Our guidance helps busy Leaders make informed choices during the annual enrolment period, maximising the value of your total compensation package.

Financial planning that fits your busy schedule

With frequent travel to the Middle East, USA and global operations, bp Leaders rarely have time to manage complex financial affairs. We’ve designed our service to accommodate your demanding schedule—communicating via WhatsApp when convenient for you, providing secure online access to all documentation, and eliminating paperwork with digital signatures. No downloading files or arranging meetings to sign documents. You’ll have 24/7 access to your financial information, allowing you to review important details during your limited downtime, whether you’re in London, Houston, or Abu Dhabi.
