Thats a bit of a massive oversight by the Brits tbh, given 12+ need these. tbh the certs was checked absolutely everywhere, unfortunately. Except in the airport, where you would expect it to be checked most. Paper should be grand, saw a few people using paper over there.

V for Vendetta if you see this, is there any general formula or standard ETV that can be expected based on what the preserved benefit is? I might not get an offer, they made offers to some former colleagues a few years back but I didn't get one. I think they were doing the higher value ones then, might be moving onto the next batch of people soon, but I've no idea if I'll be in that group, but I'd like to know what to expect. Is enhanced typically something standard, like 10%/15% or whatever above the normal transfer value you'd get if doing it off your own bat?
Basically with a DB scheme your standard transfer value is prescribed via legislation (assuming a scheme can afford to pay the standard transfer value). The standard transfer value basis is optimistic for younger pension scheme members (6%pa returns and high interest rates assumed) which folk investing in a D.C. scheme will struggle to achieve between now and their NRA as in general folk invest more prudently with their D.C. assets as they get older.
The uplift or enhancement being offered will be bankrolled by the sponsoring employer in order to reduce the risk and potential future costs of honouring the pension costs of paying you a DB pension in retirement. Pension costs go up significantly from a funding perspective when active and deferred members become pensioners so the sponsor is heading off the challenge of pumping extra money into the scheme for folk who no longer work there. Also they generally extinguish a liability at less then the accounting balance sheet liability so they can pay out 10m and reduce pension liabilities (or increase the value of the business) by 20m.
A decent enhancement can be attractive if it’s reasonably generous and you don’t want a DB benefit in retirement but instead would prefer an ARF.
A reasonable uplift for someone aged 45 with an NRA of 65 would be 40-50% to give you a decent chance to invest the funds in a D.C. scheme and have a similar level of benefits at age 65. Some sponsors pay this much and others offer 10-15% because people only see the €€€ and don’t understand the economic value of their DB benefit.
Good luck getting a financial adviser to give you some decent advice on this as most haven’t a clue about all the things to consider and will just want to sell you a PRB/ARF to invest your formerly DB funds in where they can get their commission.
Kerry foods offered a 10/15% ETV irrespective of age which was a bad joke and run by an incentivised adviser. We’ve been involved in well run ETV programs where folk in their 30s got 100% uplifts and proper access to modelling tools to assist folk in making their decisions.

Good to see all the talk of uplifts and promotions. Mad to hear some of you are working 80/90 hour weeks though. Thats long term crazy imo. And fingers crossed DP you get a few quid and a new improved gig fairly soon. It’s got to be a good time to be looking and at least with KPMG in you’ll have a bit of certainty soon.
My own situation had been pretty good over the past two years and I’ll be made a partner in our UK business and a shareholder/partner in our Irish business over the next few months. So financially all good. However, I’ll have a 12 month notice period, and basically I’ve lashed the next 10+ years of my career to this business (that’s the only way to really make the partnership status pay off).
The business is going very well and I’ll make good money and have a decent “status” but it’s also left me with a weird hollow feeling. I need to reset my personal career goals and ambitions because I need something to chase or I get bored or self sabotage. I’m doing the Chartered Director program at the moment with the IMI and IOD and have to say I’m really enjoying it. Be interesting to see how things play out over the next few years…

At this stage for pension lump sum contributions I deal directly but have to go through the hassle of assuring them I have no intermediary advisor. and knowning that I am paying the same fees and they allow for commission every time that in my recent cases is not sent anywhere, with no fee incentive for me to save them that. I guess if i was more important to them/or for v high net worth there is an arrangement but so far not.
I have an old DB pension and the transfer values offered to me (3 times now) have been laughable.

Otherwise, we probably need a pre-place to gather the group together, then I don't know is there something like a Korean byob thats fairly cool and hip, then a poker lounge (Bonnington is a name?), then a place to make mistakes. I don't know if this could yet be described as a plan, more a framework.

I don't care what his political views were (and I think most of the time he was just taking the piss), anyone who can write something as seminal as How to Drive Fast on Drugs While Getting Your Wing-Wang Squeezed and Not Spill Your Drink deserves a moments silence.

Re masks, I will definitely be wearing one on public transport for the foreseeable. Probably would wear one in places where I felt I could annoy the anti-mask types Would surely wear a mask playing live poker, unless it was forbidden (which I can't see being possible at this point).

If I do get offered the ETV, it comes with the offer of an allegedly independent advisor available free of charge. I can't remember the offer made to people a few years back, although I think I worked out that what I'd be offered on a similar basis was around 100k ETV based on a deferred DB pension (at time of employment ceasing in 2011) of 7500 with a lump sum of 15500, although it was a few years back so I can't be sure that's accurate. I have no current basis for saying whether that's good or not though.
I have 2 other pension pots, so if it did get offered and I did take it, I'd presumably just transfer it into my current active pot.
It is the UB pension btw, hence why they are making more moves to reduce the people who will need pensions in future.

Personally I've gone with the 'go deep' approach of moving further into my own work space and seeing what the higher-level potential is. Not particularly for the money benefit, just the potentially interesting journey. Not convinced its as good an idea as managing the local social centre as a hobby.
I actually got two sort of half tap-ups over the past few months and I was batting them off which was very unlike me but the logical thing to do. I'm beginning to make plans more broadly to kick on now and to develop wider business/career ambitions and goals but it's been an eye opener and a time to take a bit of stock.
As for the local GAA coaching I was doing a bit last year but little Miss V has no real interest. She's much happier doing dancing and gymnastics so I'll have to park it until my little man fills out a bit more.

You very often see people that care a lot about work become quite miserable when there is nothing left to do and even moreso when they retire. Reddit is full of rich sad people talking about it, my godfather killed himself shortly after retiring etc. They then get told to do what they should have all along, find something that they find meaningful, and that was never their actual job. It of course affords them the money to do it without feeling unsafe but at the same time all they've ever thought about was their career and they don't have a clue what to do.Last edited by Tar.Aldarion; 17-02-22, 12:55.

SPOILERXS Direct announced in January it was winding down its business. Now Beach Point Capital has installed a receiver
The specialist Irish insurance company said it asked its lender to appoint a receiver to ensure customers were looked after as it winds down its operations over the next 12 months.
At a virtual town hall meeting in early January, staff at XS Direct were briefed that the motor insurance agent and brokerage was winding down its operations over a 12-month period. It was sad news, but not unexpected – its business had fallen in recent years, while 20 per cent of their colleagues departed following a voluntary redundancy.
Having seen its customer base shrink after hiking prices, it was faced with a major decision: Inject more capital or take the decision to stop taking new policies and write down its existing ones in an orderly manner.
Now, however, there has been a new development. Beach Point Capital (BPC), its main debt provider, has appointed a receiver over the business. Following an invitation from the insurer, Shane McCarthy and Cormac O’Connor of KPMG have been installed as joint receivers over the business.
In a statement, the company said the move was designed to facilitate XS Direct continuing to act in the best interest of its customers and the “continued servicing of the underwriters’ existing business during the run-off period”.
The company said:
“Motor insurance agent and brokerage, XS Direct Insurance Brokers Limited (“XS Direct”), announced in January that it had ceased writing new business and has been working with its underwriters to service its customers in this orderly run-off period.
“XS Direct is currently being supported by its debt provider, Beach Point, and underwriters, Arch Insurance (EU) DAC, Alwyn Insurance Company Limited, Watford Insurance Company Europe Limited and Calpe Insurance Company Limited, to ensure that all its clients are serviced appropriately.”
Beach Point took over XS Direct’s debt when it acquired the Irish loan book of its British rival BMS Finance in 2018. Charges registered by the insurance group show that it has refinanced twice with BPC in the past year and a half, most recently through a fresh loan agreement on June 30, 2021.
In late 2020, the XS Direct group reported securing a €5 million loan from BPC “to finance the group reorganisation and the investment in associate, Eridge”, which doubled the amount of the guarantee provided to the lender. Liability for the debt contracted by XS Direct Group Investments cascades down, with XS Direct Holdings next in line in case of a default, while its main trading subsidiary, XS Direct Insurance Brokers, “as additional guarantor, will be liable for any remaining repayments if XS Direct Holdings Ltd is unable to meet its obligations”.
Founded in 2004 by Chris McCann, a scion of the Fyffes business dynasty, XS Direct specialises in selling motor insurance in the Irish and British markets. The company is chaired by Ian Duffy, the former managing partner of Farrell Grant Sparks and now the head of fintech company Accelerated Payments.
In 2020, it wrote total premiums of €117.7 million, down from €119.6 million for the previous 12 months. The company blamed the fall on reduced demand for its policies as a result of increasing premiums. In addition, it said that demand for motor insurance in Ireland and the UK was reduced as a result of Covid-19.
The fall in revenue pushed the company from a €2.4 million profit in 2019 to a €3.7 million pre-tax loss in 2020, leaving it with shareholders’ funds of just €270,000.

It'll be interesting to see what way different places enforce their own rules. For instance when pubs and that returned to capacity and more normal hours, a fair few pubs announced they would be keeping certain restrictions in place themselves which is fine and completely their right but I can just avoid those pubs if I want. It's harder to avoid college if they decide to make up their own rules.
