Episode 28 – DB or Not DB That is the Question

Episode 28 – DB or Not DB That is the Question

This podcast is all about the “fascinating” subject of transfers from Defined Benefit (aka Final Salary) Pension Schemes. Perhaps not usually the most riveting of subjects, however, in all seriousness it’s a hot topic at the moment with plenty of pitfalls and a big issue for those with this type of pension. Even if you don’t have one of these pensions we recommend you listen to hear about what good practice should look like when it comes to financial advice. Join Chris, David and Producer Tommo as they go through the pros, cons and things to look out for with transfers from DB Schemes.
