European Executive Investment Bond: helping clients plan for a comfortable retirement overseas

The European Executive Investment Bond (EEIB) gives you significant flexibility and freedom of choice, through access to a wide range of investment asset types.

The EEIB is only available when placed into a corporate pension.

We have a number of years’ experience in providing solutions for individuals wishing to transfer their UK pension.

It may be worth considering moving your existing UK pension arrangement if:

you are living and working abroad already and want to consolidate your pension arrangements and continue saving for your retirement, or
you have retired abroad, and you do not intend to return to the UK.

Key Features

The product is suitable for expatriates and other residents living in the European Union (provided the financial adviser has suitable passporting rights). The minimum initial premium is €75,000, with the option for additional contributions at a later date.
