Options at retirement

WorkSave Pension Trust members can access their retirement savings in the following ways:

  1. As a flexible income

    This option is available at the trustees discretion.

    Where the Trustees do not wish to offer drawdown within their own trust scheme, a mastertrust version may be established to run in tandem.

    Members can use income drawdown to take regular payments and/or occasional cash lump sums. Drawdown payments are treated as taxable income.

  2. As a cash lump sum

    Members can take some or all of their pension pot as a lump sum.

    The first 25% is usually tax free with the remaining 75% treated as taxable income.

  3. As an annuity

    Members can choose an annuity from any provider.

  4. Transferring pension benefits

    If they wish, members can transfer their pension pot to another pension provider to access their retirement options.
