Title: QROPS good or bad idea for BBC ex-pats ?
Post by Ray on Mar 16^th, 2011, 8:53am

Hello all
I'm on the verge of transfering my BBC pension fund to an off-shore QROPS scheme. I would dearly love to here from anyone who has been through this. Any regrets ?

I'm in the process of moving my BBC pension now. I suppose only time will tell if I've made the right decision. I spent maybe 4 months looking into all the pros and cons, and speaking to people with QROPS pensions in the country I'm going to retire to, and it seems the pros far exceed the cons.
With companies changing pension rules whenever it suits them, and always to the detriment of the individual, I'm happy to get out before anything else changes.
