Cash lump sum

Members can take some or all of their pension pot as a lump sum, with a minimum partial withdrawal amount of £2,000. The first 25% will usually be tax free and the remaining 75% treated as taxable income.

A flexible income

Members with a pension pot of £30,000 or more (before any cash lump sum) can elect to take their pension as regular or irregular income as needed. Minimum drawdown limits apply and income payments are treated as taxable income.

Annuity

Members may choose an annuity from any provider.

Transferring pension benefits

Members can transfer their pension pot to another provider before and in some circumstances after retirement.
