The question is, what option did you choose?
Have you got a pension from an old job?
When you leave previous employment, it is important to understand what happened to your pension and whether the option you chose was the best one 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.

In general, there are two specific types of Occupational/company pensions:

On occasions, some pensions are a part Defined Benefit and part Defined Contribution (hybrid pension).
It is very important to understand what type of pension you have as the options differ slightly for each type.
Posted on Google Praises DavidTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. MMA team made my mortgage application to approval easy and possible. They are efficient and swift with responses. The level of professionalism is second to none and special thanks to Cris for her support. At some point I was the one delaying the process yet you were very patient with me, guide me through every process and arrange meetings for clarity. Surely this is the best mortgage adviser I have encountered and I strongly recommend them cause they don’t disappoint. Thanks team ElizabethPosted on Google Eric MouraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great company! My advisors, Jack and Maricris, were very attentive, very professional. No advanced fees charged and as advertised, if you don’t close a deal, if you don’t draw down, there’s no charge, which unfortunately was my case, so after being helped through the process, they didn’t charge me anything.Posted on Google Enda MaddenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cris and Sean were excellent and couldn’t do enough to help me in getting the keys to my first home. Sean is incredibly knowledgeable and very personable. I highly recommend them.Posted on Google Rossa CoghlanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'd like to thank everyone at MM Advisors especially Sean and Cris.

Extremely professional and always on hand to help us along the way.Posted on Google MobolajiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nice and very good customer service relationship.Posted on Google Eilish DevineTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As customers, who could kindly be described as older, looking to release equity on our primary home, we had found it very difficult to get anyone to listen to our request. Not only did the Money Maximising Advisors listen to us, they agreed to help us and guided us along the path until we had what we needed. I would highly recommend this companyPosted on Google Claudia B.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't recommend MM Advisors highly enough. After 25 years with my bank, who couldn't help us at this time, MM Advisors walked us through the entire equity release process for a rental property, from start to finish and sorted out exactly what we needed. The CEO himself gave us great advice and support throughout, and Olga was incredibly knowledgeable and always very quick to follow up on everything we needed. A genuine 10 out of 10 experience — we'll definitely be using them for all our financial needs going forward. I already recommended the service to friends and family and I will continue to do so.
