LOOK FOR THE GOLD STANDARD WHEN TRANSFERRING YOUR PENSION

By Huw Wedlock, Director

For some time now, Brits have been able to access the convenience and flexibility of pension freedoms – but the protective legislation governing these freedoms is complex, with many regulatory changes occurring in the last decade.

We see a huge amount of information on moving our pensions, either transforming them into more tax-efficient formats or taking a lump sum up-front. But transferring pensions can be costly and risky – so anyone wishing to undertake a transfer is required to seek advice from a qualified UK pension specialist if their pension pot is valued at more than £30,000.

Even if this wasn’t mandatory, it’s a good idea: research has shown that on average, people who take financial advice end up with higher pension incomes than those who don’t. In their 2018 Retirement Outcomes Review, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) found that many savers who don’t receive advice keep too much of their pension pot in cash – while moving to a mix of assets could receive a 47%-higher income over 20 years. Drawdown charges can be numerous and complex, so that choosing a provider with lower charges can boost their annual income in retirement by up to 15%.

While transferring your pension may appear to be an attractive possibility, it may not be the best option for some, including those with Defined Benefit schemes – typically employer-sponsored schemes promising a percentage of final salary as the ultimate pension benefit; valuable benefits which should not be surrendered lightly.

THE EXPAT VIEWPOINT This issue is particularly relevant to expats who may have various pension schemes in the UK and abroad depending on their career history. As the time comes to move to another country or start the countdown to retirement, the many options available can appear both tempting and confusing. It’s difficult to decipher all the information needed to form a clear idea of what course of action will be most beneficial.

As a UK head quartered advisory firm, The Fry Group is well-placed to give expats with UK pension benefits bespoke guidance. With qualified pension specialists, we advise both on the merits of transfer and the myriad alternative options available, so you can formulate the most appropriate retirement income strategy for your personal needs.

A GOLD-CLASS SERVICE In light of the complexity around UK pensions and the regulations involved, The Fry Group* are pleased to have been awarded the Pension Transfer Gold Standard by the Personal Finance Society in the UK. The Gold Standard is only awarded to firms that demonstrate adherence to a set of defined principles when providing advice on any pension transfer.

This means we ensure our clients are fully supported when considering their pension transfer by: • Helping explain the implications of any pension transfer you are considering • Recognising your objectives, needs and wants to ensure advice is focused on your individual circumstances • Applying technical skills and knowledge appropriately • Recommending only liquid and transparent investments • Explaining every step of the process and all the costs involved • Drawing attention to any conflicts of interest • Executing efficiently on the advice required to consider a pension transfer and efficiently following through with any subsequent pension transfers We have applied these standards throughout our 120year history, ensuring that we build long-term trusting relationships that prioritise our clients’ best interests at all times.

The Pension Transfer Gold Standard is an independent endorsement of our outstanding expertise. The Fry Group’s focus is on positive outcomes for our clients that are specific to their individual situation – giving peace of mind in a complex field of financial planning. *Wilfred T. Fry (Personal Financial Planning) Ltd The Fry Group has been providing financial advice to expats for 120 years. Our clients enjoy the peace of mind of knowing their wealth is managed wisely.

• MEMBER IN THE SPOTLIGHT •

For this issue of Member in the Spotlight, we are pleased to feature

Robert Lyons and family.

Our job is to stop the bad guys from hacking systems.

The role covers all of Asia Pacific and Japan and as you can imagine involves travel across the region and to the USA. The team is responsible for the ongoing services and support of our customer base. It’s a fast-paced business and our customers’ security is critical to their ongoing success.

3) Could you shed some light on the cyber threats we should be aware of in today’s world of technology.

Robert joined the Club in March this year and is working in Palo Alto Networks as the Senior Director of Global Customer Services.

We find out a bit more about Robert and his cyber world.

1) What made you join the Club and how is your experience so far?

I have to give all the credit for joining The British Club to my wife, Nicole! She had visited a few times as a guest and told me about the club and the location was perfect as our two boys go to Chatsworth School, directly opposite. Once we took the initial tour of the Club, we were hooked and joined that same day. Somewhere to relax, work and play. It was a decision as much for our boys as ourselves.

The facilities available are awesome. The whole family is taking regular tennis lessons. We won’t be ready for Wimbledon any time soon, but it’s great family fun. And the boys love swimming and the Kids Club after school.

For me, it’s a time to relax in the library.

Our company vision is simple but crucial; “A world where each day is safer and more secure than the one before”. Often the first line of defence is human. Many of the adversaries trying to either steal data or disrupt organizations, first start with social engineering.

A technique where they learn as much about their target

as they can through online social presence. For example,

if you have an online profile that shows a passion for golf,

you may one day receive an email with some exclusive

golf equipment offer. It’s tempting to click the email for

sure. But beware, it could be an attempt to access your PC.

I advise against displaying too much personal information

online and always treat unexpected correspondence with suspicion.

4) Which outlet do you enjoy dining at and what are your favourite dishes at The British Club

When we first joined the Club, I was amazed at the

variety of food available. All the dining options are excellent.

We really enjoy the Windsor Arms for lunch. Everyone in the family has their favourite dish. The Sunday roast lunch reminds me of being back in England, so that’s my favourite. The boys love the BBQ ribs and Nicole enjoys trying the monthly specials.

2) Tell us more about yourself and your profession.

5) Lastly, tell us an interesting fact about yourself and your family.

I was born in the heart of London’s West End, Kensington. About 15 years ago, I was relocated to Sydney and I met my wonderful wife, Nicole, in Kuala Lumpur. We have two gorgeous sons, James (11) and George (7). We’ve been in Singapore for 10 years and prior to that, lived in Kuala Lumpur and the UK.

I am the Senior Director of Global Customer Services for Palo Alto Networks, a Cyber Security company, headquartered in Santa Clara, California.

I have a twin brother living in the UK. Completely unidentical. How weird is this, all the males in our immediate family tree were born in March! My father, my elder brother, both our sons, our two dogs, and of course myself (and twin). It’s a super busy month for poor Nicole. *laugh out loud*!

ADVENTURES OF AN ACCIDENTAL AUCTIONEER So, in the last edition of the magazine I told you how I ‘accidentally’ started HotLotz and how we began operating from a former hawker centre on the outskirts of Tiong Bahru.

(who has art hanging in the National Gallery). This enormous piece measured 179cm high by 262cm wide – sadly not for the average Singapore sized condo wall!

One thing that is consistent for every auctioneer around the world - and the main reason why I love my job - is that you never know what (or who) is going to come in through the door. Every single day is different and there is never, ever a dull moment.

Anyone for Tea?

I get to meet so many fantastic people and often get asked about my favourite sales, well, here’s a few!

How Many Dresses, Madam?

When a glamourous American leaving Singapore invites you to sell the contents of her whole home, you jump for joy.

But when she also casually mentions she has several rooms of designer clothes that she doesn’t know what to do with, you practically bowl her over to get up the stairs to take a look! Unfortunately, all 500 items, mostly unworn or just worn once, were less fun or me (and for many of our female clients who were larger than a size 8) but they did become the inspiration for our ‘branded luxury’ sales which we now hold regularly. And we have our first Men’s Branded Luxury auction coming up this September!

This amazing, limited edition candy lime yellow 30cm Hermès Birkin bag was one of the highlights from a branded luxury sale and we sold it for $8400.

Ring-a-ding-ding!

Imagine if your partner popped down on one knee and presented you with an exquisite two-carat oval cut diamond, flanked on either side by a sparkling pear cut diamond.

That’s what happened after we sold this ring for several tens of thousands of dollars to a local romantic looking for an exceptionally good diamond. What a lucky girl! (There’s no picture of this one – as we don’t want to ruin the surprise, and HotLotz has bagged an invite to the wedding!)

A Big Art’ed Buyer From the estate of a famous Australian architect who designed some of Asia’s finest hotels, this piece was sold for several tens of thousands of dollars. It was created by the famous Singaporean artist, Eng Tow 20 |

THE BRITISH CLUB

This very pretty antique cloisonné enamel five-piece, silver-gilt tea service sold for a whopping $8,400! Made in 1896 in St Petersburg, it was snapped up by an international dealer at one of our regular international sales and was whisked back to its homeland in Russia.

Watch And Earn!

One day, whilst digging through her father’s possessions, our seller came across this old Heuer watch and brought it in for a valuation. Imagine her surprise when we told her it was a rare early Monaco Chronograph wristwatch!

Made famous by Steve McQueen in the 1971 movie "Le Mans”, we it sold for $14,800.

Coming Up At HotLotz!

Highlights in August and September include an entire home contents sale of a shophouse in Everton Road, including an exquisite art and interiors collection and another international auction of fine items. Visit hotlotz.com and register for catalogues, open house dates and auction details!

Matthew Elton is the founder of Hotlotz Auction House. HotLotz is Singapore’s only full-service auctioneer, operating over 100 timed and live auctions each year across a wide range of specialist areas including Art, Antiques, Home Décor, Collectables, Branded Luxury, Jewellery & Watches and much more.

WHISKY TASTING

THE GLENROTHES SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY Fri, 16 Aug and 6 Sep 6:30pm to 10:30pm Windsor Arms Full and beautifully balanced, The Glenrothes is a statement of the whisky maker’s craft.

A fine Speyside Single Malt with ‘house style’ characterised by notes of ripe fruit, juicy citrus and a hint of spice, accompanied by a distinctively creamy texture in the mouth.

The Soleo Collection pays homage to the sherry seasoning of their oak casks; a defining feature of The Glenrothes.

Soleo is the name of the traditional sun-drying process used in Jerez to prepare grapes for the finest sherry. The grapes absorb the energy of the Andalusian sun as they transform from bright green and yellow to deep purple – the optimum moment for fermentation.

ONE MAN’S CLIMB

BY ADRIAN HAYES Wed, 23 Oct • Registration open at 7pm The Elizabeth Suite British record-breaking adventurer, Adrian Hayes, details the deeply moving story of the beauty and brutality of life, and death, on the world’s notorious second highest mountain.

In this visually stunning presentation, Adrian details his intensely personal account of his attempts to climb K2 in 2013 and again in 2014, and the story behind his newly released book, One Man’s Climb: A Journey of Trauma, Tragedy and Triumph on K2 – a book which is as much a lesson in human development, real teamwork, social conscience and our lives in the world below, as it is a story of climbing the ‘Savage Mountain’. Foreword by Sir Ranulph Fiennes.

BIOGRAPHY: Adrian Hayes is a British record-breaking adventurer, author, keynote speaker, business coach, documentary presenter and sustainability campaigner.

An Arabic and Nepalese speaking former British Army Gurkha Officer, who also spent two years in the Special Forces, has conquered Everest, K2, the North and South Poles, the length of Greenland by kite-ski and the Arabian Desert by camel amidst a lifetime of adventure. Setting two Guinness World Records, writing two books, and featured in three documentaries to date. Now an internationally acclaimed keynote / motivational speaker and professional leadership, team, and executive coach & consultant, he is also the author of Footsteps of Thesiger, an account of his 44-day journey across the Arabian Desert. www.adrianhayes.com (Photo by Derek Crowe)

THE SQUASH SECTION DEBATE . . . BEER OR CIDER??

By James and Omair

Pro Beer / Anti Cider

Pro Cider / Anti Beer

James Pickles

Omair Azam

The top 5 reasons that any squash player should exclusively drink beer are:

The top 5 reasons that our squash section is moving towards cider:

•

•

There’s nothing like the taste of a refreshing, sweet, and crisp beverage after beating an Ozzie on court.

•

Beer guts are out, cider bellies are in.

•

It’s a premium product, unlike Heineken and Tiger, and it’s good to class it up sometimes innit?

It does not taste like lolly water

• You will not go bald (look at the photo please) – cider

is high in sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup which

scientists have linked to baldness and impotency in men.

•

Cider originally hailed from France and this is meant to be the British Club. Beef Wellington and a pint of London Pride please governor.

•

OJ Simpson openly declares his favourite drink is cider.

“I love my wife and want her to have a long and happy life”, he said.

•

All my mates drink beer, except Omair who turns up with a six pack of Strongbow but then decides to drink my beer anyway. Why? Because it tastes better.

• Ozzies are just slow on the uptake, there’s a global cider

revolution underway, don’t experience FOMO! (Editor:

“Fear Of Missing Out” to help the majority of our squash players) •

It’s the drink of choice for today’s youngsters, and let’s be honest, with an average age of 50+ the squash section needs an injection of youth.

In conclusion, the squash section has decided to drink BOTH BEER AND CIDER all summer long as we try to decide what is the favourite drink of our squash section.

If you enjoy playing squash and/or drinking beer and/or drinking cider, drop by on Monday, Wednesday or Thursday nights for our weeknight socials or on Saturday afternoon for our weekend social. After social, order a BEER, order a CIDER and cast your vote.

TAMMY TRIPLE WHAMMY By The Slicer

Pretty in Pink

David Brown has done many amazing things in his time in the British Club tennis section. Six mixed doubles titles in the club's open tournament, five singles triumphs and four men’s doubles trophies. There is one thing he has never managed, however, that his incredible daughter has now achieved. In the 2019 edition of the club open, Tamryn won the ladies’ singles, ladies’ doubles and the mixed doubles (with David). This triple is an all-time first for the club and a magnificent achievement. When Tamryn is on the WTA tour, we can all tell stories of watching her play on our courts.

The club’s open tennis tournament is always a highlight for the section but this year’s was extra-special. Brilliantly organised by Liza, our convenor, and Holly from the Sports management team, there were great matches in all five draws – dazzling stroke-play, brilliant comebacks, matching outfits – and a wonderful atmosphere on the Scores balcony (hat-tip to Mr Pimms and Ms Chardonnay).

Young free and singles champ

Charlie the Champion

There were many other champions to celebrate, of course. One of the most coveted awards went to Niamh and James Daniels who were named “best dressed” – James looked great in the pink he chose to match his wife. James featured again in the “most romantic” award . . . this time with Tim, his men’s doubles partner (they also won the doubles plate).

Back on court, the indomitable Charlie Thomas won the men’s singles.

This competition featured most of the club’s top players and so from the quarter finals onwards there were some epic matches. As he so often does, though, Charlie found a way through to reclaim the title. Ben Kiggell won the plate there (for the third year running . . . next year he is determined not to lose in R1 again).

The men’s doubles was also a high quality draw with some fantastic battles but the best was saved for last as Gianluca Lionetto and new member, Alan Brown played brilliantly to come back from a set and a break behind to beat Charlie and Jonny Wright in the final.

Proud father

The Mixed Doubles had drama on both sides of the draw. A second father/daughter pair – Julian and Elena Chesser – triumphed in a plate competition that featured some epic family tussles, not least Merissa and Zen Johan beating the Martins 7-6 in a third set, and then going down 6-4 in the third to the Motions in the next round. The ladies doubles plate final kept up the drama with Linda Snowdon & Hayley Naidoo winning in 3 sets.

Congratulations to everyone who played, organised and supported in making the 2019 Open such an enjoyable few weeks, and roll on 2020.
