Drawdown transfer

Going into drawdown with one pension provider doesn’t mean you are stuck with them forever. If you’re taking money from your pension through drawdown and planning to do so for a decade or two, it may be worth your while moving your pension to a new provider.

Important information - the value of investments, and the income from them, can go down as well as up, so you may not get back what you invest. Eligibility to invest in a SIPP and tax treatment depends on personal circumstances and all tax rules may change in the future. You cannot normally access money in a pension until age 55 (57 from 2028). It’s important to understand that pension transfers are a complex area and may not be suitable for everyone.

A pension with a lower service fee could save you money in the long run. You might also find you have more investment options which allow you to take greater control of your retirement income.
