Can I transfer the assets without first liquidating them into cash?
August 25, 2009
This depends.
If the assets are held within an insurance company based scheme then the funds in which you are investing will be converted into cash, and the transfer to the QROPS will be in cash.
If your existing registered pension scheme is a SIPP or a SSAS then it may be possible to transfer the existing assets to the QROPS, if the receiving scheme administrators or trustees are willing to accept them.
