Thanks for dealing with my enquiry so quickly. I have now seen the recommended financial adviser in CPT and was impressed by how straightforward his explanation was and the ‘tell it like it is’ attitude. Your site is also great and I shall recommend it to others.

Why is it too late for you to have a QROPS?

Unfortunately, I have already transferred my pension, but a few friends have utilized the website to get a second opinion on some pensions they are thinking of transferring and it was a good thing they did. Their financial advisor wanted to put them into an exorbitant QROPS, and this website put them in contact with another financial advisory group who got them the same QROPS at far lower rates. Between them they have saved over 10 000GBP!

A fantastic site with a wealth of information. I first heard of QROPS through a financial adviser but they didn’t seem to fully understand all the details. They were also proposing a very cheap package, and because it is my pension money, I thought it best to do some research and get a second opinion before I proceeded with anything.

I’m glad that I came across this site as it gave a good overview, as well explaining all the details.

I went through various different sites, but none of them had sufficient detail. This was the most comprehensive site that I came across. If you have a frozen pension definitely take the time to get these guys to give you a second opinion.

I recently moved to South Africa, and it was through an email that I heard about this site. Someone sent me a brief overview of QROPS and I found it extremely interesting.

I contacted the site and they put me in touch with a fantastic advisor here in South Africa…and the good news is that they gave me the green light to proceed with the transfer.

I worked in the UK, for a short while, as did many of my colleagues and we have a relatively small frozen pension. I didn’t realize that you could top it up to get it to the threshold.

When my financial adviser explained the specific structures and benefits, even topping it up was a good investment, and my funds have far outperformed what they were doing….even in the recent market difficulties.
