While many people move pensions around during their working lives, some don’t realise that there are good reasons to do this just before they retire as well. For a start, if you’ve changed jobs a few times, it’s likely you’ll have several schemes in different places. Bringing them together can make it much easier to plan – and help you look after your money in the years ahead as well.
Equally, it could open up more investment options or more types of retirement income. It might even save you money as costs can vary significantly between providers – and over a long retirement, small changes in price can lead to a big difference in how much you have over time.
With our SIPP you’ll have access to a wide investment choice (funds, shares, investment trusts, ETFs), so you have more ways to help your money to grow, access to easy to use investment selection tools, a service fee of typically just 0.35% (depending on what you invest in, other fees will apply such as ongoing fund charges), along with flexible income options at retirement with guidance and advice.
Important Information - pension transfers are a complex area and may not be suitable for everyone. Before going ahead with a pension transfer, we strongly recommend that you undertake a full comparison of the benefits, charges and features offered. To find out what else you should consider before transferring, please read our transfer factsheet. If you are in any doubt whether or not a pension transfer is suitable for your circumstances we strongly recommend that you contact Fidelity’s retirement service on 0800 368 6891 or refer to an authorised financial adviser of your choice.
