Transfer out of FS and into SIPP

  • Hi

    I have had the time to play with the numbers.

    The deferred pension in Mar-96 was worth £1539 of which £358 is GMP.

    The GMP element indexed upto today @ 7%/yr is worth £1480/yr in todays money. If we index that upto her retirement age of 60, and assume that the 7% is (say) 4 % more than CPI, then the GMP element is worth £2100/yr in todays money.

    The remaining non-GMP element indexed up in line with CPI, so today is worth about £1724.

    This gives a pension @ 60 of around £3800 in todays cash.

    This equates to a multiplier of around 41.

    The CETV of £157K includes £31K as "total GMP cash equivalent"

    Do the numbers above make sense ? and if they do, is a multiplier of 41 ripe for transferring into a SIPP ?

    Make sense ?

    Thanks in advance.

    To the question how do I find an inexpensive Pension Transfer IFA?
    I have done a DB- SIPP transfer for £300k+ and paid a fixed fee equiv to below 1%.

    I used bark.com to try to find a local PT IFA, which generated about 8 responses mostly at the c £10k.
    In preliminary telephone discussions I was able to negotiate a more realistic estimate with a couple.
    https://www.bark.com/

    I also used unbiased which gave me a response who was actually marginally cheaper but was late to respond and I was too committed to jump for a few £100s.

    If you don't get a good quote, PM me, I'll tell you who I used.

    Update.

    'Tis done.

    The money went into an AJ Bell SIPP two weeks ago. It is now distributed broadly across the world with a disproportionate amount in the UK.

    Thanks for the help - especially those that engaged in off-board discussions

    Good luck.
    Assume you will have to wait 4 years until you can access, and watch the swings while you countdown.
    Hope it all ends up favourable.
    My wife turns 50 in a few months, and has had a similar quote for her 8 years work in the eighties, £2.4k db and CETV quote of £150k, so will be interested to hear how things pan out your end.
