The question is, what option did you choose
The question is, what option did you choose and was this the best option available? There are pros and cons to each option but it is important to fully understand these options in detail to make an informed decision.
Early access options and the tax implications on both your pension on retirement and on death should all be considered from all options before any decision is made.
If you are unsure what options you chose when you left your previous employment or didn’t make a decision for whatever reason, your pension is probably still in your ex-employer’s company pension scheme.
If you would like clarification or more information on the options still available to you (even if you have already transferred your pension), you can always book a free call with one of our highly experienced and qualified pension specialists and they would be happy to answer any of your queries.
