Day two - Tracing lost pensions and transferring your pension

Tracing lost pensions

If you’ve worked in more than one job, you’ve possibly got multiple pension pots which can be difficult to keep track of.

If you think you might have a pension with GMPF but aren’t sure, please call our Customer Services team on 0161 301 7000 who will be able to check for you. For more information, visit the Tracing your benefits page.

If you think you might have other lost pensions that are not with GMPF, you can find contact details of other pension funds on the Government website. Visit www.gov.uk/find-pension-contact-details.

Transferring your pension

Did you know that you might be able to transfer previous pensions into your GMPF pension, or transfer your GMPF pension to another pension provider? Transferring can be a complicated process - not everyone can transfer, and it may not always be the best option to take - so we’ve provided some resources to help guide you. 

Transferring in: If you’re currently a member of GMPF, you can check if you’re able to transfer previous pensions into your GMPF pension by reading our Joining, contributions, and transferring in your benefits web page.

Transferring out: If you’re thinking about transferring your GMPF pension to another pension provider, you can read more about your options on the What are your options when opting out, leaving or transferring web page.

We recommend that you consider getting help from a financial adviser when making decisions about your pension.
