Why is a Pension Review Important?

Whether you have one or several UK pensions, a UK pension transfer into a new UK personal pension can have many advantages. But it may not always be the right answer. Your current pension may have certain guarantees which, upon transfer, could be lost. Some older UK pension plans can also have high exit charges. For reasons like these, it is important to get advice from a financial advisor before making any decision to transfer your UK pension.
