Have you seen the news today that Jane has had enough of travelling to supplement her pension following her meeting with you?Its worth enough to survive, was an excellent scheme
Seek. Financial. Advice.
(From somewhere other than the SMB)
Nice one. Guessing it was a final salary one.Its worth enough to survive, was an excellent scheme
Problem is no IFA will give him advice which is worth it compared to the value of his fund.
I work in financial services with an IFA division and we wouldn’t even take the call.
Pension Wise as suggested but remember it’s only guidance they won’t tell you what to do.
Edit - lives abroad as well so advice would be even more expensive!
No. I will be cashing it on when I can to buy a house here or back in UK.Nice one. Guessing it was a final salary one.

You can get two state pensions? Was that the master plan.No. I will be cashing it on when I can to buy a house here or back in UK.
If I work here for 15 years I also qualify for the local government pension. 15 years gives you about €500 euro a month plus my UK government pension.
I'm wishing my life away here
Not at all . It seems to good to be trueYou can get two state pensions? Was that the master plan.
Independent financial advisor. Like mine. Who I consulted today. To rescue significant portions of my pension fund from crashing any further with only 6 months left before I retire. f***ing Coronavirus panic. Bloody markets.
Tell them to move to Leicester. There's already 35 mosques there, and I'm sure there's plenty room for one or two moreI'm in.
Funny you mentioned that .
They tried to build a new mosque here.
Three burger vans turned up selling bacon sarnies .
It didn't get built

It'll probably be recovered in 4 months
I’m a financial consultant and sadly this is true. I think pension wise is probably your safest bet.
The biggest upsides in the market normally follow the biggest sell offs so hopefully things improve for you quickly. Does your pension fund not automatically de risk your holdings as you get closer to retirement (it’s called lifestyling)?
In my youth I must have worked for at least 10 different construction companies and tracking them down now is almost impossible. There's only one still trading and of the others there's only a couple I know the names of. The rest I could only guess at, one company was called Crawfords but was it Crawfords, Crawfords Construction or Crawford Brothers? All three "Crawfords" building companies were operating in Sunderland at the same time.People of various ages on the pension treadmill should consider in a lifetime of working say 6 companies/ takeovers plus a couple of house moves will result in trying to keep count via the pension tracing service of where the pension pots are. I suppose cashing them in simplifies the filing system but not necessarily the best return, nevertheless a minefield.

I know when my father died before pension age my mother had terrible trouble tracking down his pensions because he spent a lifetime in construction. She just couldn't remember every company he worked for.
That would be the B&CE scheme.I also seem to remember we had to pay into a holiday scheme every week and this also included a small retirement and death benefit element which went into a retirement pot. I think the construction industry scheme was called Batic or something similar.
