Information regarding your defined benefit pension
Why your pension has transferred to Legal & General
The trustees of your pension scheme have put in place an insurance arrangement that protects your retirement benefits.
Demystifying pension buyouts
When a final salary pension scheme secures its members’ benefits with an insurer, a number of positive things happen. We explain what this means for the pension scheme members.

What is a defined benefit pension?
A defined benefit pension offers you a set benefit each year after you retire. This is usually based on the number of years that you worked for your employer and your salary while working. Sometimes this is your final salary, and sometimes an average of your salary over your career. How much retirement income you might receive is determined by the rules of the pension scheme, rather than the amount you’ve paid in plus any growth over time.
