What is a pension?
A pension is a way of saving for your future so you can support yourself financially when you retire.
It's a tax efficient 'wrapper' used to secure an income for you when you stop working and reach retirement age.
- With a pension from us, you’ll get a self-invested personal pension called a Flexible Transitions Account.
- Our Flexible Transitions Account gives you choice and flexibility about where your money is invested and you can even transfer any existing pensions into it.
Flexible Transitions Account
Here's what you'll get with a Flexible Transitions Account
- Make regular or single payments up to age 74
- Transfer other pensions up to age 85
- Save in a tax efficient way with a wide range of investment options
- Be flexible with your contributions and the benefits you take
- Switch investments between the options available whenever you like
- Choose how much involvement you have in any investment decisions
- Receive a tax-free cash lump sum at retirement
Important Information
All the nitty gritty details.
- If you reduce your contributions or take your benefits earlier than planned, then your income may be less than shown in your personal illustration
- If you choose to take income directly from your pension fund, these withdrawals will reduce the potential for future growth
- Rising prices will reduce the buying power of your pension fund in the future
- You can't cash in your plan at any time
- You may normally only take benefits from your plan from age 55, or you may transfer to another provider at any time
- Elements of the plan may be held in stock market related investments, so you are not certain to make a profit and may get back less than you invested
- The tax treatment of the plan will, in part, depend on your personal tax status, which may be subject to change. Please refer to the Key Features for details of how contributions and benefits from your plan will be taxed. Any references to taxation are based on our understanding of current legislation and HM Revenue & Customs practice, which is subject to change
- If the Government changes the tax treatment of this plan, any tax relief given on personal contributions paid could change
