Things to think about before transferring your plan
Transferring your pension is a big step, so we have highlighted a few things you may wish to consider before you finally commit to transferring away. In particular, please make sure you understand:
The cost of transferring – the transfer value offered may not buy the same level of benefits with a new provider. The new provider may also make up-front charges.
