Pension Pot Transfer Process

  • I'm not worried about being out of the market.

    I'm worried about the transfer process being forgotten about, or transferred into someone else's holdings (if that's even possible).

    My pension transfer is taking 2 months so far. Is that normal?

    In specie transfers, its possible. If its conventional pension funds then no. 1-2 weeks is the norm. With what you say, it would be pension funds. SW (CM) are slow so make it about 3 weeks but 2 months is longer than normal and suggests a problem.
    You'd think an in-speccie transfer would take 2 seconds, not 2 months. No idea when it will be completed.

    You wont be doing in-specie though.
