Why do you need to use a specialist?
To comply with current legislation and FSA rules
To provide advice to your client
To make sure your own liability is covered and that you are not seen to be providing advice that you are not registered to give.
4. Transfer Compliance If a client receives funds from a pension scheme for whatever reason, the transaction must be ‘compliant’
By that we mean the following;
The client must be provided with advice from a registered individual
The client must be offered any applicable options
The IFA must offer a range of remuneration methods to the client
The cost is transparent
This needs to be done BEFORE the financial settlement is agreed.
If the transfer is from a final salary pension scheme then a full transfer analysis and calculation of the true value of the underlying pension must be calculated and presented to the client and their legal adviser so that a true financial settlement may be arrived at.
5. Example Mr and Mrs Smith
Divorce case with you acting for Mrs Smith, Mr Smith has 20 years service with a company
Current Salary of Mr Smith £30,000 pa, he is in a 60th basis Final Salary Pension - He is 40.
His pension is currently worth 20/60ths of £30,000, = £10,000 per annum.
You apply for a CETV and the scheme give you a CETV of £100,000 Mrs Smith is apportioned 50% as part of the overall financial settlement.
Is this fair?
In the open market that same pension at normal retirement age would cost £280,000 to buy.
I have assumed that we use annuity rates applicable at retirement so this is a fair comparison
We need to do a full transfer analysis to determine the discount applied to the CETV to
asses if the client feels the cash sum is fair. In this example the cash sum if invested over 20
years will need to achieve 8% net compound growth for 20 years to provide a pension equal
To £10,000 revalued by inflation over 20 years.
