Updates from GE

You may have seen an announcement from GE (the Company) on 9 November 2021 that it plans to form three independently run public companies focused on growth sectors of aviation, healthcare and energy. The Company separated from Healthcare in early 2023 and intends to separate the Renewable Energy and Power business (GE Vernova) from Aviation in early 2024.

From 1 May 2023, the Trustee took over the responsibility for managing the GE Energy Penison Scheme (GEEPS) – to confirm, this has no impact on members’ benefits as both the GEEPS and GEAPS are two separate schemes.

We wanted to reassure you that the Trustee is staying close to the Company as it works through its proposed transactions and will provide updates when more information is available. There is no immediate effect on the GEAPS, the GEEPS or the security of your benefits as the assets of the GEAPS and GEEPS are held completely separate from the Company.

Pension scams - keeping you aware.

Pension scheme members are being approached by ‘unregulated’ providers with tempting investment and cash offers for their pension savings. Beware! These types of offers could be a scam, so check carefully before making any decisions. These offers may sound legitimate but they typically offer unusual investments like overseas property or biofuel, promising high returns, whilst not making you aware of the high risks and downsides.

Early access to your pension savings may sound tempting, but usually you can't access pension savings before age 55 unless you are seriously ill. So make sure you check your facts before you make an irreversible decision. Being taken in by one of these scams is likely to result in you being poorer in retirement, and could mean you face substantial tax charges. Follow these simple steps to help keep your pension savings safe:
