Re: QROPS PENSION TRANSFER

But the question, that remains unanswered, was not about the financial integrity of these banking institutions but the protection and compensation an investor in an offshore QROPS could expect ?

Re: QROPS PENSION TRANSFER

[ GURU. If you were lets say 65 years old, taking retirment now, non UK resident over 5 years, had a frozen UK pension with Zurich UK of £200,000 would you take a UK ANNUITY or a SIPP or a QROPS?

Re: QROPS PENSION TRANSFER

Close Bros in Guernsey were charging an establishment fee of £300 and an annual Fee of £300 providing you invested in funds run by them, but these would increase if you wanted to invest in outside stocks, funds etc
