Should you combine your pension pots?

If you have various pension pots with different providers, you might want to consider combining your pension pots into one place. This could make it easier for you to manage your pension pot and keep an eye on how it's performing. Pension transfers require careful consideration as there are a number of things you need to understand before deciding if it’s right for you. We don’t offer financial advice as part of this process and we won’t compare pension charges for you, so you’ll be responsible for making sure that transferring is in your best interest.
