Hi all
As my employer has changed i have received a letter stating i have three options in which to choose from for the funds i have. I understand two of them but one of them states the below and i dont understand. I was wondering if anyone could help me out.
'Your plan can be made 'Paid Up' which means that no further contributions are allocated and the current units participate in the performance of your chosen funds'
This may seem transparent to some people but unfortunately not me lol.
Thanks in advance

Hiya,
It just means that there will be no further contributions to the pension, the pension will just sit there and rely on growth from the underlying funds.I am an Independent Financial Adviser.

ok thanks. Do you know if you can cash this in early or does it have to continue or be transferred?

You cant cash in pensions. They are not a savings account or savings plan but a pension.
Earliest age to access the funds is 55.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0
