    It also depends on the pension in question. If an annuity is purchased, that has higher protection than deposits. and different to that of occupational final salary schemes.

    Hi DpS21,

    Can you explain what you believe to mean by 'separate entity' and are you referring to a specific type of pension - it's a genuine question, as I could give you at least a couple of meanings?
