At my place of work, a big retail chain, the agreement for workplace pension contributions is 8 per cent, including 4 per cent from the employee. I work in the warehouse as a warehouse operator (not management). When I questioned HR on why 4 per cent of my wage was not being taken out, I was informed that there is a £480 (per 4 weeks) threshold and that the pension contributions start after this £480.

I currently have a company pension scheme which is operated by a large pension firm, with my funds all in a tracker. A financial firm I work with has suggested it would be advantageous for me to move my pension funds into a Sipp with them. Apart from the fact it's actively managed and has greater diversification of holdings, I wanted to see if you were able to provide any impartial advice or perspective on the differences between the two options, and the pros and cons?

I'm a British male aged 73 and and live in the Philippines. I have lived here for over 15 years and I'm married. Each month I receive a small private pension payment of £69.53 from Hannover Re based in the UK. Occasionally, I receive a Proof of Life Certificate by post which I duly sign and send them a good scanned copy. The incoming post into the Philippines is extremely slow and it's notriously labelled as snail mail. It can take months to arrive.
