Hi
I am about to transfer 2 policy to Scottish widows 
And wish to ask should ask for the drawdown scheme as will take the 25% from the 2 policy and from the policy already held with Halifax which will then transfer to Sctiosh widows thus leave balance to reinvest as not reach retirement age yet thus 3 policy become 1 and Scottish widows ren invest for me the balance

Is anyone aware if they invest in far east markets? as nothing is for sure at present

Scottish widows offer a range of choices for investment so I would expect you can choose to have some in Far East investments

Most SW pensions do not support income drawdown.    They have a current product that does but its not great in my opinion.   Do your SW plans support income drawdown.

They have Asia Pacific funds available on most of their unit linked pension versions.  Most of their versions are limited in fund choice. So, the range of Asia pacific funds may only be one fund and likely to be internal.  Although over the years they have had some with a couple of Asia Pacific funds.   SW is not the brand it used to be in my opinion and its individual pension products are dated compared to modern alternatives.  I think it has been the best part of 15 years since I last used SW for pensions.
