Protected Rights.

Protected Rights funds can be held in the Dentons SIPP and since 6 April 2012, the Dentons SSAS, alongside non-protected rights funds. This means that your clients can have their entire pension benefits under one roof.

Opting out of the State Second Pension (S2P) or, its predecessor, the State Earnings Related Pension Scheme (SERPS), has now been scrapped. From April 2012 the differences between Protected Rights and funds built up by your client's own, or their employer’s, contributions, will cease to exist.

Protected Rights funds can be globally invested with other funds built up to date.

Please note: We are unable to provide any advice on the merit or otherwise of transferring Protected Rights entitlements from one pension scheme to another.
