Guardian Wealth Management | QROPS | Financial Advice

Over recent years QROPS have been seen as an attractive pension alternative for expats who have previously lived and worked in the UK and have UK-based pensions and assets. As QROPS have become better known and more established, more information regarding the benefits of QROPS for expats can be found online and through reputable financial advisors. This increase in the popularity of QROPS as a pension investment option seems to have been noticed by financial advisors across a number of jurisdictions, according to the findings of a recent poll by Skandia International.

The published results of last year’s poll by Skandia showed that only three quarters of the advisors consulted thought that QROPS business would remain even or increase. In contrast, this year’s results point towards a definite up-turn in the popularity of QROPS. A massive 96% of advisors taking part in the poll believe that this coming year will see the number of expats taking up QROPS as alternative pension investments increase or stay at a similar level.

Guardian Wealth Management | QROPS Code of Conduct | New Zealand

Guardian Wealth Management offer financial advice services across Europe and the Middle East, including wealth management advice for QROPS. As always, we aim to keep our clients informed of changes in regulations and processes that affect wealth management services. Here we will take a look at the proposed new code of conduct being discussed by QROPS providers in New Zealand.

In March this year, the Guernsey Association of Pension Providers introduced a voluntary code of conduct, outlining the rules and standards that QROPS providers should adopt when writing QROPS for the transfer of funds from UK pensions. It was a move made to help simplify the process, so that consumers would know what to expect from QROPS providers and how the schemes should be handled.

Is a QROPS the right choice for you?

There is certainly a lot of information around regarding the advantages of transferring your UK pension funds in to a QROPS (Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes) and for most expats, a QROPS will offer lots of tax advantages. It’s important to remember though, that as with every matter of financial planning, everybody’s situation is different just because a QROPS offers the best answer for one human being that doesn’t indicate that the same will be true for you personally.
