PFS Workshop: Defined Benefits - to transfer, or not to transfer? That is the question

This workshop is aimed at those with a specific interest in the process of Defined Benefit Transfer Advice and is intended to be fully interactive.

It is designed to be suitable for advisers and paraplanners with a range of experience and knowledge - from Pension Transfer Specialists to those who currently refer work elsewhere or do not yet advise in this area.

We have three excellent speakers:

• Don Soley of Help You Comply Ltd will provide a regulatory and compliance view to assist with ensuring advice is appropriate to support recommended transfers.

• Mike Morrison of AJ Bell will present a qualitative and practical view of the opportunities and potential client benefits of transfers.

• Bob Freeman of Voyant, who will demonstrate cashflow modelling to assist in ensuring our clients understand the potential advantages of transfers together with the specific risks.

Delegates are also encouraged to provide questions ahead of the event for discussion on the day.

Please email mark.maclean@cantabam.com and we will incorporate the key themes, where possible.
