The starting point is to value the pension to establish the cash equivalent value. Then this needs to be assessed in terms of the likely benefits that could be provided for the member or the former spouse.  It may be that early retirement pension benefits are not reflected in the value provided by the trustees, the scheme assets may be in surplus or deficit.

Pensions are complex

Pensions and likewise pension transfers can be extremely complex. There are many investment related regulatory issues that affect pensions and particularly pension transfers and sharing advice.

Pension advisers are required to have passed a specialist examination as well as the firm that they represent being specially authorised to provide advice on certain types of pension transfer.

Pension sharing orders can be applied to all types of pensions which could include occupational pensions, personal arrangements, stakeholder pensions and unfunded schemes, through to second tier state pensions, annuities (pensions in payment) and other types of benefit that are being drawn from pensions - even pension fund withdrawal (sometimes known as income drawdown).
