Hi,
I am currrently in a defined benefit scheme with my employer where I'm contributing 5% of my pensionable salary & my employer is contributing 8%. On top of this they also invest an extra discretionary amount each year based on company profitability.
I'm trying to understand if this is competitive? What kind of rates are being paid in the market for other companies?
Like alot of people I can't see myself working for the same company the next 35+ years. I realise not many employers offer DB schemes so am interested in the transfer value of the money being put aside in my pension fund.
Any thoughts appreciated.
