Taking care of your loved ones

It’s important to make sure your loved ones are taken care of if anything happens to you. The Trustee is responsible for deciding who your death benefits are paid to if you die before you have taken your pension pot from the Scheme.

That’s why it’s important that you let us know who you’d like to receive your pension pot.

To do this, you need to nominate your beneficiaries through your online XPS portal ‘MyPension.’

You can choose to leave your pension pot to more than one person, and it’s completely up to you on how you’d like to split it when you complete the form.

If you need any help completing the form, please contact XPS.

It’s vital that you keep this information up to date as and when life changes, so that the Trustee can consider your wishes.

Are you a member of both DC and DB sections of the Scheme?

If you are a member of both the DC and DB section of the Scheme, XPS are the administrators of your pension. You will need to update your beneficiaries by logging into XPS’s online portal, MyPension. Please note you will not be able to update your beneficiaries on L&G Manage your Account.

Defined Benefit

You’re likely to be a member of the DB Section of the Scheme if you worked at the Partnership before 1 April 2015. XPS is the administrator of the DB Section.

The DB Section closed on 1 April 2020 and therefore members who joined the Partnership after 1 April 2015 will only have a Defined Contribution pension pot.

Defined Contribution

This is where you can find information about your current pension if you’re a Partner now, or were a Partner after 1 April 2015. The Defined Contribution pages are probably the most important for you.

Members who joined the Partnership before 1 April 2015 may also hold DC pension pots with Prudential or Legal and General, as well as a Defined Benefit Pension in the Scheme. We previously referred to this as Hybrid or Dual Benefit. This is because you may have joined the DC Section of the Scheme when you started working at the Partnership and then, after a defined waiting period (which depends on the date you joined the Partnership), you would have become eligible to join the DB Section.

The DB Section closed on 1 April 2020 and therefore members who joined after 1 April 2015 will only have a DC Section pension pot.
