Should I Transfer out of my Final Salary Pension Scheme?

If the answer is Yes to the questions below, you may want to find out what options are available to you and speak with a Pension Transfer Specialist

Have you already left a Final Salary Pension Scheme, or do you plan to retire within the next 12 months?

When you stop working for your company your final salary scheme is frozen and you become a deferred member of the scheme. The benefits will usually be revalued and will increase with inflation. A transfer value can be requested to establish the value of the pension with the retirement options included.

Are you over the age of 55 and looking to retire or semi retire in the next 12 months?

As you cannot typically access your pension before the age of 55. The FCA states that Transferring out of a Final Salary scheme is unlikely to be in the best interests of most people. Careful advice is required to determine if transferring is in the best interest.

What Our Clients Say

H. Volkan

“It is not often I find the need to heap praise on a person or organization, however on this occasion I feel compelled to do so. I have been a client of Palantir financial services for two years now, and the service I receive is a complete opposite of that I received from my previous pension advisor .From the moment I was introduced to Eamonn Prendergast I was struck by how professional and knowledgeable he was, Eamonn explained in detail and in plain English how he intended to restructure my pension plan, which at the time was a bit of a mess to say the least. He explained the pros and cons of various plans in a clear and concise manor and tailored a package he thought would best suit my circumstances, the price of the plan and fees were clearly pointed out and explained. Eamonn regularly makes contact to update on issues and offer solutions to problems that may arise, his honesty and integrity is evident in all the meetings I have with him. In an industry that seems to attract more than its share of con men and charlatans, Eamonn and Palantir has been a beacon of light that shines out. For a complete peace mind, I would not hesitate to highly recommend them”.
