The Scheme provides retiring members with access to free and impartial financial advice on their retirement options. 

The advice is entirely optional. It is telephone-based, and provided during the months prior to your retirement. The advice process is initiated by members once they receive their retirement pack from the Scheme administrator.

 

The support / advice is currently provided by Origen Financial Services. You can find out more about them on their website at

The guide below explains how the support works.

 

The Trustee will review the support arrangements from time to time and reserve the right to change financial advisor or withdraw the support.

 

Origen are also able to advise retiring members on a new option that was introduced at the beginning of 2023, known as the “Level Pension Option”.  A Guide, explaining how this option works, and some examples, can be found below.”
