Pension Drawdown

Unrestricted access to your pension fund.

Subject to certain conditions, you can transfer your pension fund to a Pension Drawdown Contract and withdraw an unrestricted amount i.e., up to 100% of the fund value.

It is permitted for up to 30% of the maturing fund value to be paid to you tax-free prior to making a transfer to a Pension Drawdown Contract.

  • Flexible, unrestricted withdrawals tailored to your needs.
  • The balance of your pension fund can remain invested where it may benefit from investment growth
  • Your pension fund will pass to your Estate on death.

What are the conditions to establish a drawdown contract?

To establish an Approved Drawdown Contract (ADC) you must meet either the ‘Minimum Retirement Income’ (MRI) or ‘Minimum Retirement Capital’ requirements.

What is the Minimum Retirement Income (MRI) requirement?

MRI is a guaranteed lifetime income of an amount that is not less than the single person’s full States of Jersey old age pension, increasing by at least 3% per annum.

Can I use other sources of income to meet the MRI requirement?

Yes, providing the income is payable for the remainder of your life. Please contact Rossborough Financial to establish if you meet MRI.

What is the Minimum Retirement Capital (MRC) requirement?

The level of capital needed to meet the MRC requirement is calculated based on your age and other factors. Please contact Rossborough Financial to establish if you meet the MRC requirement.

What assets can be included in the MRC calculation?

You can only include assets owned directly by you, such as cash savings, investments, and property, but excluding your only or main residence and any tangible movable property. Please contact Rossborough Financial to establish if you meet the MRC requirement.

Can a combination of MRI and MRC qualify me for an ADC?

Yes, please contact Rossborough Financial to establish if you meet the requirements to establish an ADC through a mixture of both MRI and MRC.
