  1. THE RETIREMENT DECISION

  2. THE RETIREMENT DECISION So why should someone transfer their pension?

  3. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? • In 2008/09 public service schemes paid out £32bn • This is about two-thirds of the cost of the basic state pension. • the gap between contributions and pensions in payment is currently £4.5bn per annum • By 2015 this will double to over £9bn per annum

  4. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

  5. THE PRIVATE SECTOR REMEMBER…. What happens in the public sector follows in the private sector “In January 2012, Shell became the last company in FTSE100 to close its final salary pension scheme to new entrants” (Financial Times, 7th January 2012) “A recent survey by the National Association of Pension Funds found that only 19 per cent of final salary [schemes]… are still open to new hires” (Financial Times, 7th January 2012)

  6. COMPARING THE BENEFITS: SIPP v QROPS

  7. RETIREMENT • NOT to be confused with ‘working retirement’ • Retirement is when you take benefits NOT when you reach a specified age • You may be able to take benefits from your pension scheme BEFORE leaving employment (age 55+)

  8. DEATH BENEFITS (BEFORE RETIREMENT)

  9. TAX FREE CASH

  10. TAX ON INCOME

  11. DEATH BENEFITS (AFTER RETIREMENT)

  12. DOUBLE TAXATION AGREEMENTS DTA analysis makes it clear that: • there is no ‘one size fits all’ jurisdiction • QROPS advice has taken on an extra dimension • The choice of QROPS jurisdictions will be largely governed by the retirement destination of the client WE CAN HELP!

  13. INVESTMENT OPTIONS

  14. COST

  15. QROPS A QROPS is suitable for someone who: • Has completed five consecutive tax years outside the UK • Has retired offshore and intends to remain offshore • Is about to retire offshore and intends to remain offshore • Has a fund value approaching the lifetime allowance of £1.5M

  16. UK SIPP We still firmly believe that in most cases the Brooklands SIPP will be the correct choice before retirement Even though the Brooklands SIPP is an FSA regulated product you can still offer it to non-UK residents Your client can enjoy the regulatory benefits and low cost of SIPP With easy transition to QROPS when required
