Fragmenting one's pension investments into separate smaller policies may give additional flexibility as to when and how you retire different pots and avoid retirement of one's pension being an all or nothing, one time only event.given the mandatory 4% of ARF once one kickstarts the pension.
Both/either.Do you mean buy different ARFs or a combo of ARF and annuity?
The splitting strategy that I'm referring to may not be available in every scenario. E.g. maybe not in the case of an occupational/company pension scheme as opposed to a private/personal pension. I'm able to do it with my PRSA.I’m a DC pension (company pension) and have been advised once I draw it down and take lump sum I must invest in an ARF or annuity.
I like the idea but how does it work in reality. If I had 2 different ARFs with 2 different pension providers how does taxation etc work. I though the pension provider handled tax but not sure what would happen if multiple providersFragmenting one's pension investments into separate smaller policies may give additional flexibility as to when and how you retire different pots and avoid retirement of one's pension being an all or nothing, one time only event.
Same as if you had more than one employment/job.not sure what would happen if multiple providers
I’ve looked into this option for a future possible plan and understand it should be possible from any DC scheme. You don’t retire from the company though. You leave the company and transfer your pension into a prsa (or multiple PRSAs). Then you can retire each one at different stages and take lumps sums as you need to and avoid for example the mandatory 4% of the entire if you desire to.Thank you @ClubMan.

Probably a basic question as had assumed one would need to choose just one type/financial entity to manage the 75% post lump sum.
