3. International Pension Planning
About Our Pension & Retirement Plans
We offer Expatriates and UK residents (whether domiciled or not) a range of pension planning
options.
Our principal pension plans are the International Pension Plan, QROPS and QNUPS.
These plans have a proven track record of reliable growth and tax minimisation.
These plans are not mutually exclusive meaning it is possible for a client to have all 3 plans under
certain circumstances.
International Pension Plans are designed to offer consistent, long-term growth and can be combined
with a QROPS and/or QNUPS.
QROPS (Qualified Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes) allow holders to transfer their pension
assets into an overseas scheme that enables lower tax rates and withdrawal of greater benefits.
QNUPS (Qualifying Non-UK Pension Schemes) allow holders to transfer a broad range of assets into
the plan e.g. property, stocks, shares and artworks, as well also potentially enabling a lower rate of
inheritance tax.
