Some pension risks

You are responsible for making all of the investment decisions in relation to your pension. Your choices may not be the best options.

As a result, there is a risk that the pension scheme may be underfunded by you and/or the value may be insufficient at retirement so that your long-term retirement needs may not be met. 

It is important that you seek independent professional advice prior to making any decisions which have tax, legal or other financial implications.
