Living or retiring in Canada?

Want to consolidate your UK pensions with a UK Pension Transfer Canada?

Whether you are migrating from the UK to Canada or are a Canadian Expat returning home, a British Pension Transfer Canada will help you achieve a superior income throughout retirement.

Basically, QROPS (Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes) permit for the transfer and consolidation of all UK pensions (inc frozen UK pensions) into a personal pension in Canada.

Preferable tax treatment is a key advantage. The dreams of a more relaxed lifestyle could soon fade if you have to work around UK pension rules.

The most important advantage is flexibility in accessing your money. At 55, you can withdraw regular payments and receive 25% of the assets as a lump sum. Also, unlike the UK, should anything happen to you, your spouse and beneficiaries will receive 100% of the remaining assets.

After your house, your pension is likely to be your second largest asset. So it is important to ask yourself if you really know what it is invested in? What its performance was last year? What charges are eating into your pot?

Consolidation also grants greater control of your retirement funds, increasing your buying power to seek the very best returns in the market. Plus, numerous pension pots means duplicate charges and excessive amounts of paperwork.

Finally, with a booming economy retiree’s living in Canada on UK pension payments leave themselves open to exchange rate fluctuations which could see their retirement income fall. With a UK Pension Transfer Canada, you can lock-in a guaranteed income in your retirement.
