How Our Service Works

Book a free no obligation 15 minute call with one of our pension transfer business development managers. They will explain which pension transfer benefits you qualify for, explain the best option for you and explain the pros and cons of transferring.

On your behalf we will contact the trustees of your UK pension schemes and gather all of the information specific to your pensions.

Once we receive information specific to your pensions, your pension transfer adviser will discuss your financial situation and personal objectives for retirement. To do this, we will :

  • Help you answer a financial questionnaire to understand your financial situation precisely.
  • Listen to what plans you have for the future, what financial security represents for you, where you plan on living and how much you expect to spend.

We will provide you with a free pension transfer assessment report that considers all the information from your pension and current situation. The report will include:

  • A future projection status of your entire financial asset base.
  • A clear comparison of projected income streams between your “current” arrangements and the “options” available.
  • Our expert advice on whether or not you should transfer your UK pension.

If a transfer is recommended, and you accept our recommendations, we will manage all aspects of the transfer for you. If not, you walk away without paying a penny.

Defined Contribution Pension Transfer FAQs

A defined contribution (DC) pension transfer is the process of moving your UK pension savings to another pension scheme that offers more flexibility, lower fees, and better investment options.

Transferring your UK pension as a British expat can provide you with greater control over your retirement savings, as well as potentially lower fees and better investment options. It can also simplify your finances by consolidating multiple pension accounts into one.

To be eligible for a pension transfer, you need to have a UK pension scheme that permits transfers, and the receiving pension scheme must also accept transfers.

There are risks associated with transferring your pension, including the possibility of losing valuable benefits and protections, and the risk of investment losses if your new pension scheme underperforms.

The length of time it takes to transfer your pension will depend on the complexity of your pension arrangements, the receiving pension scheme, and other factors. However, the average transfer time is around four to six weeks.

The cost of a pension transfer will vary depending on your specific circumstances, such as the size of your pension, the complexity of your arrangements, and the fees charged by the receiving pension scheme. It’s important to compare costs and fees carefully before making a decision.

To get started with a defined contribution pension transfer, you should seek professional advice from a qualified financial adviser who can help you understand your options and guide you through the transfer process.
