Final salary occupational pension scheme. The normal retirement age for future service is being increased by 2 years from 60 to 62. Members can retain their retirement age of 60 if they pay an extra 2.75% contribution. The value of this would be saving the actuarial reduction for 2 years early payment if they retire at 60. Once the decision is made, you can't change from one option to the other.
So without an accurate crystal ball to predict what the actuarial factors etc.will be in the future, and what other investment returns they could get, is this good value?
Could it better to stick the 2.75% in an AVC?
Opinions please!
