ocr: ARE there any pensions com- panies that do not use statistics which discriminate against women? The question 1S asked by a reader who is due to retire and has found that the Addi- tional Voluntary Contributions (AVCS) she made to her pen- sion plan are going to buy her a much lower pension than her male colleagues would receive. Alas, no pension company can disregard the brute fact that women live longer than men on average, SO pension rates for women are lower at any given age, because the pension will probably have to be paid that much longer.
