Scottish Widows Pensions. This is my workplace pension and its current value is a little lower than it was last year. Value 12 months ago was £235k.

17 February 2020 at 6:49PM. Have been told that a Scottish Widows Retirement Account is a solid performer with reasonable charges, pensions do not perform. The investments within the pension perform.

The daft thing is the Scottish Widows Property Pension fund is only 5% of my pension and a very small amount, where as the other 3 funds are large. Here is another odd thing.

The Scot Widows Stakeholder has about 29 funds. The personal pension has around 100. The retirement account will have around 1000.

She wishes to make a one off additional contribution to take advantage of her tax allowance. I understand this payment can be up to the amount of her annual wage.

Hi, I'm approaching my (early) retirement date later this year and currently have a workplace pension with Scottish Widows. They contacted me to say that I need to let them know what I'm doing and gave 4 options: 1. Flexible access (drawdown), 2. Cash in pension as lump sum (tax would be crazy!), 3. Buy annuity or 4.

Halifax Banking App no longer showing Scottish Widows Pension Balance. I use the Halifax app to check the balance & transactions on my Clarity Credit Card. For a long time now (many years) its also displayed the current balance of my Scottish Widows Pension (this happened automatically - nothing I signed up for / enabled).
