Hi all
I have an old executive pension from a previous employer with Standard Life which hasn't been paid into for a few years. It's held in cash currently but I am going to invest it (probably ETFs). I am now self employed (director of limited company) and want to start some kind of personal pension. Is it possible to combine the 2 rather than pay fees on 2 pensions or am I better off starting afresh with a new one? Any advice appreciated.
Thanks

You could start a new EPP and transfer the retained benefits into that if you wish.

If you start a new executive pension plan, you can then transfer in your previous paid up benefits from your previous employment. It does make it easier to keep track of everything if they are in the one location.
