My pension plan from my previous employer is being wound up and I am looking for advice on whether I should move my pension funds to the PRB negotiated by the pension administrator or whether I should find an
alternative PRB.
I am not currently employed so I do not have the option to move my pension to a current employer pension plan. I am in my thirties so not close to retirement age.
Here are the details of the PRB offered:
1) Its with Irish Life
2) No monthly contract charges
3) Allocation rate is 103%
4) No bid-offer charge is applied
5) Early Surrender penalty: Year 1 & 2 is 4%, Year 3 is 2%, Year 4 is 1%, Year 5 is 0%
6) Annual management charges
0.65% for Indexed Global Equity fund
0.75% for Global Consensus fund
Is there anything else I should be looking for in relation to charges etc... ?
Would I get a better offer if I shopped around elsewhere ?
Are there any advantages to moving it to a PRSA instead of a PRB ?
Many Thanks, Mac
