Preserved pensions are often called frozen pensions although “Deferred” or “Paid Up” are the correct terms. A Deferred Pension refers either to a Personal Pension Fund that has been built up to a certain level and contributions stopped, or an Occupational Pension Scheme that you no longer belong to. The fund however, will remain invested and will benefit from any growth that is achieved.
The amount of growth you'll see depends entirely on the package you're signed up to. Once we know who your pension pot is with, the value it’s standing at and your objectives, we’ll be able to start researching the best product for you.
