Virgin Growth PEP

I no longer want to be in this PEP. Do I have to withdraw my money or can I transfer into a ISA?:confused:

    Good decision to get out. Virgin is a poor choice of manager.

    You much not withdraw the money. You transfer it by asking the new provider (typically a fund supermarket nowadays) to provide a transfer application.

    If you are going DIY then hargreaves lansdown is the main one to look at. Others are available through IFAs if you want advice.

  • dunstonh and meester - thank you. :T Most helpful, I'm getting out of virgin PEP asap - especially with the volitility of the stock market just now. I think I will be transferring my fund to HL - probably as cash into their Vantage PEP while I decide what to invest in - is this a good idea?

    Yes....

    As you say volatility is a problem, but transferring it can't hurt
