Understand the level of risk first
Investing in a pension offers the potential for better returns than cash savings over the long term (5+ years). But there are risks, the value of your investments may go down as well as up, and you may get back less than has been paid in.
Before you transfer a pension, check if there are any valuable benefits you could lose, exit fees and investment choices.
