Transfer considerations. Transfers should only be considered for pensions which do not offer any guaranteed or safeguarded benefits - not final salary or defined benefit schemes or pensions that offer particular annuity rates and other promises. You should ensure that by transferring you are not incurring unnecessary penalties, losing any benefits or features, and have considered any increase in pension charges.

VCTs are higher-risk investments designed for UK resident taxpayers with an investment time horizon of greater than 5 years, which is the minimum holding period to qualify for income tax relief.

Tax reliefs depend on individual circumstances and may change. They may be difficult to sell at a price close to the value of the underlying assets or at the time of your choosing. They should only form a small part of an investor’s portfolio.

You should read the relevant prospectus before making any decisions.

VCTs are higher-risk investments designed for UK resident taxpayers with an investment time horizon of greater than 5 years, which is the minimum holding period to qualify for income tax relief. The value of investments can fall as well as rise and you may get back less than invested.

Transfer considerations. Transfers should only be considered for pensions which do not offer any guaranteed or safeguarded benefits - not final salary or defined benefit schemes or pensions that offer particular annuity rates and other promises. You should ensure that by transferring you are not incurring unnecessary penalties, losing any benefits or features, and have considered any increase in pension charges.
