Tracing lost pensions
As well as understating your choices at retirement, you may want to make it easier to keep track of your retirement savings.
Bringing together your existing pension pots could allow you to see everything in one place, reduce your paperwork and could save you money as you may currently be paying multiple fees and charges.
We can help you trace any pensions you may have with previous employers, however you should be aware that transferring might not always be the best thing for you. You should compare the benefits from your current pension with the estimated benefits of your new pension, including any guarantees and penalties. If you're unsure whether this is right for you or need advice, please speak to a financial adviser.
