Access all retirement income options
You need to transfer your pension to another arrangement to give you flexibility over your retirement income options from your defined contribution pot. You can choose to transfer to the Fidelity Master Trust to give you more income options, like setting up a regular income.
The Fidelity Master Trust
The Master Trust provides flexible retirement options with all the governance advantages of a trust-based scheme. You're supported by the pension and investment oversight of trustees who work in your best interests.
If you have said you plan to retire at a different age from 65 in your current scheme, your selected retirement age will be carried across to the Fidelity Master Trust if you choose to transfer. If you’ve already passed the retirement age you selected, it will be adjusted to your next birthday. We use the retirement age we have on our records for you (whether it is the standard age of 65 or an age you have specified yourself) as the basis for changes to any lifestyle investment strategy you may invest in. It also shows us when we need to write to you about your retirement income options.
