Hello all,

I am on verge of moving to US, probably permanently.

Here in Ireland I have the following retirement provision:

1. 12 years service in a defined benefit scheme. I will be leaving service of this employer so plan to opt for a deferred benefit.

2. Approx €100k in AVC's. I plan to leave this in the AVC fund and it will hopefully grow over time.

If anyone could help me with the following I would appreciate:

1. Do i need to take any action to protect the value of these funds - e.g transfer them to another scheme etc?

2. Is it safe to assume that these will be of some use to me when i retire and that they wont be valueless due to tax treatment or some other issues with cross border transfers etc.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.
