Qrops

Hi All

I have been in Switzerland now for over 3 years and have no plans to return back to the UK. I have a number of frozen pensions in the UK which I am looking to consolidate; as a result I have looked on the HMRC website and also spoken to a local IFA who suggested that a QROP's was the best way forward.

Does anyone have any experience with QROP's or have any information about them as there does not seem to be a lot of literature about them.

Many Thanks

Re: Qrops

This has been covered before. Bringing UK pension into Switzerland and QROPS.

Beware this is a minefield with plenty of "experts" ready to take their commission and little else...

simple really, I did a shed load of research before making changes to my UK pension. I plan on doing as much before making changes to my other pensions. I am led to believe that they are supposed to be similar....thats all fine and well, but I am dealing with different companies, different jurisdictions and different tax laws.........so as far as I am concerned its back to the drawing board.
