Why Have Final Salary Pension Transfer Values Gone Down? 📉

Why have Final Salary Pension Transfer Gone Down? The reason Final Salary pension values have very little to do with performance. The main reason pension values have gone down is Gilt Rates, this very closely linked to interest rates and inflation. As observed in the markets and across economies, including the UK & the US, inflation rates have soared to unprecedented levels. This is one of the primary factors of the ceding Scheme in the UK to consider when determining the CETV value.

The combination of high gilt rates and lower long-term inflation expectations are causing transfer values to decline, presenting challenges for anyone considering leaving their Defined Benefit (DB) pension schemes. Despite this, transferring might still be a beneficial move, especially with favourable annuity rates on offer. However, pension scheme members need to receive comprehensive support and expert financial advice before making any moves regarding their pension access.
