Supporting your defined benefit conversations
Pension Freedoms has given people with Defined Contribution pensions greater control and flexibility over taking their benefits. This means your clients with Defined Benefit (DB) pensions may enquire about the pros and cons of transferring. There are many reasons to be cautious about advising on DB pensions. That's why at Scottish Widows we're focused on helping you achieve the right outcomes for your clients with our expert support. And with Retirement Account we have a flexible pension plan for your clients if transferring is the right thing to do.
