The risks, please read this first
Combining pensions can help, but it is not always right, and getting it wrong can be costly.
Defined-benefit pensions
Final-salary and public-sector schemes promise an income for life. These are usually best left where they are.
Guarantees you could lose
Guaranteed annuity rates, protected tax-free cash or a protected early pension age can be worth a great deal.
Exit penalties & perks
Some older plans charge to leave, or come with employer top-ups or life cover you would give up.
The pot stays invested
A combined pot remains invested, so its value can fall as well as rise. You may get back less than was transferred in, and that risk sits with you, not the scheme.
How combining your pensions works
Track down every pot
Old workplace and personal pensions, plus anything found via the government Pension Tracing Service.
Check what each one is
Defined-benefit or defined-contribution, the guarantees, the charges and any exit penalties.
Get regulated advice
An FCA-regulated adviser recommends which (if any) to combine, and where to.
Combine only the right ones
Suitable pots are brought together; anything with valuable guarantees stays put.
Who it suits, and who it doesn’t
- Several small defined-contribution pots from past jobs
- Old plans with high charges or dated funds
- Wanting one place to see and plan your retirement
- Final-salary / defined-benefit pensions
- Guaranteed annuity rates or protected tax-free cash
- Pensions with valuable employer top-ups or life cover
