What is a defined benefit (DB) pension transfer?
A defined benefit transfer is when your defined benefit (DB) pension is transferred to a defined contribution (DC) pension. Transferring means exchanging the guaranteed annual income of a defined benefit pension for the investment potential and flexibility of a defined contribution pension.
The value of investments can go down as well as up, so you could get back less than is transferred.
