40 something emigrating

Posts: 6 Forumite
Dear All, I am a 40ish person who emigrated to the EU some two years plus ago.
I have my own business and France, house etc, and no plans to ever return.
I do have a sizeable private pension pot C. 200k in the UK and tried in vain before I left the UK to release it. Is there anything I can do to release this money? Will Brexit affect this? I paid into the corporate system for 15 years and now have no wish to be involved or keep paying into the fund, as I will have to live to be 160 years old to see a return! Much rather invest in France and forget the seemingly doomed and corrupt uk pension markets, any ideas welcome

As said repost in the pensions forum but you have some serious misconceptions about how pensions work (not that you are alone). You can have all your pensionmoney invested in France should you wish (and be foolish enough to put all your eggs in one country's basket)0
