Members can choose from a number of retirement options to suit their personal circumstances and plans, enabling them to take full advantage of modern-day Pension Freedoms and Choice legislation.

Lump sum option

Members can fully encash their pension pot in one transaction.

Annuity option

Via Open Market Option, members can secure a regular retirement income using some, or all of, their pension pot, with an optional tax-free lump sum.

Deferred retirement

Members can choose their own Target Retirement Date and can continue working and growing their pension pot until they are ready to retire on their terms.

Flexible access

Members can choose to draw on their pension periodically or regularly, topping up their income when they need to by flexibly accessing their pension pot. We offer both Flexi-Access Drawdown or Uncrystallised Funds Pension Lump Sums (UFPLS) options within the scheme.

Plans powered by

All members have access to a Retirement Guide, which explains the various options open to them. When ready, they can generate their own Retirement Pack so they can start to make decisions about their retirement. This pack can easily be downloaded from the Creative Pension Trust Member Portal from age 55.

We will write to every member a full 15 years before their Target Retirement Date and every 5 years thereafter to encourage them to actively consider their retirement planning and take any actions necessary to help support their future planning.
