Hi Guys,
I could really do with some advise here. I was working for a company for four years and I was paying 80% High and 20% low risk. Last year the company closed. I received a letter yesterday from Standard Life "Leaving Service Options & Beefit Statement" stating I have over 8K in the fund and I had five options:
1) Take a Refund of Contributions
2) Remain in the plan and defer my Pension
3) Take to my employers company Pension Plan
4) Transfer to a Buy Out Bond with Standard Life
5) Transfer to a Buy out Bond with another pension Provider
I am currently with my new employeer a year and I have not started a Pension with them yet cos they do not contribute anything.
Would I be better to start one myself (Irish Life etc) ?
What is the best option to choose from the 5 listed above.
thanks for any help that you provide.
