QROPS Pension Funds

If you’re an expat, or you’re planning to live outside of the UK for an extended period, a QROPS pension can provide a valuable alternative to a UK pension.

Investors with UK pension rights, who want a better return on their money, often find that a QROPS is a great way to boost their pension funds.


Pensions are an intrinsic part of your overall wealth management strategy, so it makes sense to weigh up all of your options, especially if you’re planning to live or retire in a foreign country.

 

A Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme, can give international workers and expats access to enhanced tax advantages and increased flexibility – allowing them more freedom to control their investments.
If you are considering a move abroad, getting some professional wealth management advice will help you to put a good financial planning strategy in place.

​

As part of this strategy, you should make sure that you ask your financial advisor about the benefits of transferring your UK pension.

 

The benefits of a QROPS pension include tax and inheritance advantages.It does not function within the same limitations as a UK pension, so if you’re not planning on staying in the UK, there’s no reason for your pension funds to do so – by seeking advice on pensions from a wealth management advisor, you may find that by transferring your pension, your retirement will be even more enjoyable.
