Partnership has announced that it will shed 100 jobs as part of cost cutting measures linked to the overhaul in the pensions system arising from the Budget.
The staff cuts reflect the anticipated drop in annuities sales, it said.
The company told the Stock Exchange that its proposals were expected to generate yearly savings of £21 million in 2015, resulting in anticipated total operating expenses in 2015 of approximately £80 million.
Partnership expects to incur one off costs totalling £3million during 2014 in implementing these changes and a further £5million during 2014 and 2015 in supporting new initiatives, including product development.

Steve Groves, Partnership's chief executive, said: "Partnership is announcing today that it is entering into a consultation process with employees, which it is anticipated will result in the loss of approximately 100 roles across its London and Redhill offices.
"Whilst this is regrettable, we believe this action is necessary to manage our cost base to reflect the impact of the pension changes announced in the Budget on sales of individual annuities across the industry.
"We have undertaken a thorough review of our cost base and are targeting annualised cost savings totalling £21 million in 2015 compared with our planned 2015 cost base.
"This target takes into account the anticipated impact of lower levels of individual annuity sales, offset by targeted investment to develop areas of the business where we believe the greatest opportunities lie for us to leverage our intellectual property and expertise.
