You'll generally be able to transfer your pension to any type of scheme if you're in: a private sector defined benefit scheme, or. a funded public sector pension scheme (such as the Local Government Pension Scheme).
How long does a pension transfer take? Transfers processed electronically usually take between 10 and 20 working days. Manual transfers may take two to three months but can take longer.
Block transfer This is where a group of employees elect to transfer funds from a legacy pension into their new pension scheme, often prompted by their employer, adviser or new provider.
It's wise to be cautious when exploring your options. While a defined benefit pension transfer can offer advantages, there are circumstances where it may not be advisable. If you have health issues or a strong need for a guaranteed income throughout retirement, retaining stability and security is usually more suitable.
Defined benefit plans provide a fixed, pre-established benefit for employees at retirement. Employees often value the fixed benefit provided by this type of plan. On the employer side, businesses can generally contribute (and therefore deduct) more each year than in defined contribution plans.
Risk transfer is the process of transferring the risks associated with defined benefit (DB) arrangements away from a pension scheme, usually to an insurance company in the form of buy-ins and buyouts or through a longevity swap. This process is also known as “de-risking”.
In most cases, you'll be able to move your pension to another pension scheme without needing to get advice. But some of the decisions you may have to make can be complex and we would recommend that you consider getting regulated advice.
You can usually transfer a defined benefit pension to a new pension scheme at any time up to one year before the date when you're expected to start taking your pension.
