Stakeholder Pension transfer
JamesPL
Posts: 12 Forumite
Hello all, thanks for reading this, I've got a stakeholder pension worth around £100k, I'd like to transfer it to a flexible pension where I won't get charged 3% foir taking the tax free drawdown and can set how much I recieve each month after. My intention is to transfer it in October 2025 and leave it there for a year.

Before you commence drawing your pension, you might find it helpful to take a Pensionwise appointment.
