Pensionbee/ nest

beezkneez

Hi

I have a couple of running pensions but need to get someone to look at them to see if the should be moved

I haven’t got a huge amount in them and they are with standard life

I have asked a IFA in the past but the charges were high and would have taken what seemed like a large amount from a small fund

Could transferring to pensionbee or nest ( there are probably others too) a good option or are they a bad idea?

Any views appreciated

Thanks

Do you have a workplace pension as well as the two you mention?

What is the value of the pensions?

How old are you now?

When do you hope to retire?

Start by asking Standard Life if they can be transferred within Standard Life to more modern contracts with lower charges.

If the funds are below £50K , then most IFA's will not be that interested and/or charge disproportionately high fee .

It's less important which provider you use than making sure that you are invested in the right sort of fund within the pension for your age /risk profile .
