Equitable Life 'with Profits' Pension

Help I'm 3 months from the date at which I opted to take this pension. If I do take it and purchase an annuity with another company - does anyone know if I will lose my rights to any compensation (if any) arising from the investigation which is supposedly to be carried out.,

    In theory no. You should remain entitled to any compensation that is agreed at a later date. Assuming you are retiring, the fact that you had taken your benefits out of Equitable to buy an annuity should not be an issue.

    In practice I think that compensation is very unlikely, after all the Government doesn't compensation stock market investors for their losses.
