Pensions: The past, the present and the future

National Conference 2020 – Technical Paper

With the Transfer Balance Cap (TBC) now part of any retirement & estate planning strategy, it’s important to have a good understanding of what pension strategies still work, what strategies need to be revisited and which ones are no longer feasible.

Explore how pensions should be managed in the present, taking into account the introduction of the TBC, the new Transfer Balance Account Reporting (TBAR) regime and important changes to ECPI. Additionally, look at how to manage pensions on the death of a member to optimise wealth for the future.
