Who should attend this seminar ?
It is entirely a personal decision, but the Fund feels that the content would be beneficial to those aged 45 and above, it is not an event aimed solely at those members that are due to retire within the next 6-12 months.

What Does The Seminar Cover?

LGPS and the benefits it provides
As a member of the LGPS, you‘ll need to understand what benefits are payable and from what age. We’ll tell you all about your Scheme and provide details of how you can maximise the benefits. We will also provide you with information on how to top up your benefits with additional regular contributions (ARCs) and additional voluntary contributions (AVCs).

Tax-free cash
You can potentially take all of your AVC pot as tax-free cash giving you a lump-sum which may get your retirement off to a great start (subject to HMRC limits).

Tax tips
Whatever stage of life you're at, the taxman still wants your money. We will share with you some top tax tips on how to keep as much as possible for yourself, before and during retirement.

Protecting your inheritance
Inheritance tax planning is becoming more and more important. There are some simple things you can do to limit or avoid paying inheritance tax which we will share with you.

Securing the best pension income for you
Many people with an AVC/FSAVC policy or previous pension rights don’t realise that at retirement you can shop around for the best pension income deal on the market. We’ll help you understand your options and the effect they can have on your income.

Your Invitation To A West Midlands Pension Fund Retirement Seminar:
We’d like to invite you to attend one of our new retirement seminars, which could help you prepare for retirement and hopefully ensure that you can make more of your money, when you get there.

Each seminar runs for two hours; there is a choice of three seminar times and three venues. These seminars are being held in conjunction with the Fund’s AVC provider, Prudential. They are being held to provide education and information on retirement options for members. The Prudential/Fund cannot give advice, but are able to answer your specific questions and support you in making decisions.

A team of retirement experts will be on hand to answer any specific questions you may have, plus you’ll have the opportunity to talk to officers from the Fund to ask about how the retirement process works within your own employing body.

Having looked at the provision of this type of service across the pensions industry, the Fund has asked Prudential to assist in running these seminars. We believe the knowledge that Prudential have in delivering this type of seminar is invaluable to our members. Prudential have years of experience helping people navigate the often complex world that is retirement planning.
