Charge on policy transfers and surrenders

Charge on policy transfers and surrenders means that customers who decide to terminate or transfer their pension scheme (including in connection with a change of job) must pay a certain percentage of their savings. The charge on policy transfers and surrenders only applies to pension schemes established as Gennemsnitsrente pension products. If you terminate or transfer your Gennemsnitsrente pension scheme, you have to pay a charge on policy transfers and surrenders so that the remaining customers do not have to pay your share of the bill for the loss suffered by the company on customers’ savings.
