Pensions - Articles - Transfer values remain steady, say actuaries at Xafinity


Transfer values, as measured by the Xafinity Transfer Value Index, remained fairly steady over the last couple of months – staying within a relatively narrow range.

 Over October and November 2015 the Xafinity Transfer Value Index had a minimum reading of £203,700 and a maximum of £207,700 – a difference of £4,000 (or just less than 2%).

 
 
 
 Paul Darlow, Head of Proposition Development at Xafinity, comments: “The relative stability in the Xafinity Transfer Value Index over the last couple of months contrasts markedly with the beginning of the year, when we saw a swing of nearly 7% in just a couple of weeks. With much of the volatility in transfer values being driven by changing perceptions of the strength of the economy (both globally and in the UK) it is probably only a matter of time before volatility returns.”
