There was a 2004 EU directive that was adopted by the UK Government in April of 2006. This means that British ex-pats that have frozen private or company pensions left in the UK are now allowed to transfer their pensions into a Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme or QROPS for short. It must be an approved HMRC QROPS.
The benefits in doing so are tremendous in terms of:
* Security
* Greater Tax Efficiency
* Solid Growth Opportunities with Top and Respected Fund Managers ensuring Global Diversification,
* Elements of Capital Protection, Low to Medium Risk
* Effective Estate Planning
* Consolation into one pot if more than one pension to transfer
* Greater Flexibility on how to take benefits
* Visibility
* Cost Effectiveness
* Ability to add lump sums and build on one’s retirement planning which so extremely important
