ARF charges with current pension provider

[KOW]

Current company pension plan with Irish Life.
Final payment contribution will be made in May.
Will be going the ARF route.
Would set up and AMC charges normally be best with current company ie Irish Life? Any idea what charges Irish life might charge?
Am I limiting my choice of funds/charges by staying put?
What time frame should I consider getting sorted be it with Irish Life or other provider?
Not dependant on pension near term.

Have made contact with Irish Life today and agent will call me. Last time I spoke to the agent assigned to my scheme they were really poor and basically had very little knowledge of pensions in general. Thanks in advance.

No. Irish Life aren't usually the lowest-cost ARF provider and I don't think they have any loyalty incentives for staying.

Any idea what charges Irish life might charge?

They have loads of different charging options. Only the agent can tell you which one you'll get.

What time frame should I consider getting sorted be it with Irish Life or other provider?

I'd start in March. Ask Irish Life for their offering and then shop around.
