Foreign Pension transfer to the UK

Guido_Montague

Hello MSE,

For some years I worked for a Swiss company, (working offshore worldwide not in Switzerland).  During that time I and the Swiss company contributed to a pension fund in Luxembourg.

The Swiss company has now ceased trading, and the pension company want to transfer my pension fund to me in the UK.  They can send it to a UK pension fund or my bank account.  Leaving it in the current pension provider in Luxembourg is not an option.

HMRC inform me that transferring it to a UK pension fund will be fine, transferring it to my bank account will count as income.  I would like to transfer it to a pension fund.

However, I cannot find a pension fund that will accept direct foreign transfers.

Please can anyone direct me to any UK pension company that accepts foreign transfers?

(I have already tried my usual IFA, my accountant & many searches with google)

Well, Aegon seem to know all about  transfer from overseas pension to UK scheme but as to whether they accept or not....

You could give them a ring?
