UK Pensions Melbourne was established to provide help and education to people who have left the UK on a permanent basis and are considering transferring their UK pension benefits to an Australian superannuation fund.
In 2006 the UK made many changes to pension legislation. One of the changes was the confirmation that UK pensions could be transferred abroad provided that the individual had left the UK on a permanent basis and the receiving pension scheme had been registered in the UK as a Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme (QROPS).
To ensure that prior to proceeding with a transfer, our clients have a full understanding of their UK pension, the UK pension rules associated with a transfer and the benefits of transferring this money to an Australian super fund.
Peter has been involved in UK pension transfer advice in Australia since 2008.
Peter was a qualified independent UK financial adviser from 1990 to 2008, On moving permanently to Australia he became aware of the opportunity for expats and those who had previously worked in the UK, to move their UK pension benefits to Australian superannuation and the benefit this could provide. The problem he discovered was there were very few people who could provide the advice. To rectify this problem, initially he worked alongside several Australian financial advisers
The success and respect he received, encouraged him to establish a dedicated company, UK Pensions Melbourne (UKPM). Their aim is to provide help and knowledge to clients ensuring that the transferring of their UK pension to an Australian superannuation fund would be beneficial.
Due to the success and growth, Peter expanded the business in 2022, in partnership with his licensee Robert Cumming of HNW Planning, establishing UK Pensions Australia (UKPA). The affiliation introduces HNW’s adviser arm Life Nett who provide a team of Australian advisers, administrators and information technicians. This allows Peter to focus on the operational aspects of both UK Pensions Australia and UK Pensions Melbourne.
