Who we are
We are experts in the Pension Transfer market because that is all we do. We are currently the Number One leading pension transfer company for AXA New Zealand and have successfully transferred 10's of millions of dollars to New Zealand.
All UK Pension Transfers can be held in sterling earning interest for as long as you like, until you are happy with exchange rates. Our UK Cash account will be earning an interest close to the UK Official Cash Rates. You can even drip feed payments from your sterling cash account into your Kiwi cash account within the scheme, spreading your exchange rate exposure. The only time limit to convert is your retirement date, if you decide to draw down on the fund, otherwise you can still wait. We have been working to get this UK Cash Account account open for over a year now. No one else in NZ has this facility as far as we are aware, so it's a great point of difference we have in the market place.
