Can I Transfer Old Pensions Into One Pot?
It may be possible to transfer several old pensions into one arrangement, depending on the schemes involved. Before doing so, compare charges, investment options and retirement facilities, and check whether you would lose guarantees or protected benefits. Defined benefit pension transfers require particularly careful consideration and, in some circumstances, regulated financial advice is compulsory.
