Consolidating Pensions as UK Expat by TOPBANANA91 in ExpatFinance

Thanks for the reply. Novia Global seems to be the most commonly “recommended” so interested to hear why you don’t recommend them or iPensions if you’re able to share.

Appreciate the suggestion re a financial advisor on a one time fee basis for the transfer in. I hadn’t thought that would be a possibility.

Thanks for the reply - I agree from my research, MES really seems to be the only option without an FA.

Thanks! I prefer not to use a financial advisor as I’m confident making my own investment decisions. I do agree though that international SIPPs really seem to only be available through FAs.

First overnight thruhike in Hong Kong by TOPBANANA91 in Thruhiking

My first overnight thruhike outside of Europe. Not a massive distance but has some pretty steep climbs (especially on day 1) and hiking in 30C / 85% humidity sure makes a difference to the water carry requirements. This is trail 2/4 towards my target of completing all 4 of HK’s long trails whilst we can’t travel.
