Testimonials from former employees about their Employer Pension Plan

"Having taken the transfer-out (commuted) value of my pension from BC Ferries gives me the flexibility and control of where my retirement assets are managed and that my beneficiaries will be my family and not the pension corporation. I am now able to put this asset on my financial planning statement as a full owner of the total commuted value." Gary Forsyth, Marine Engineer.

"I have been concerned about my pension-commuted value for quite a while. However, it was difficult to find any accurate value from the Pension Corporation. With the help of Mr. Ralph Hahmann and Mr. Gary Forsyth, we have figured out the approximated commuted value as I have had over 30 years of service with BC Ferries. The final amount was greater than I anticipated, and now at age 55, I have the freedom to work when and if I want to, as well as knowing my investments are transferable to my estate. Mr. Ralph Hahmann did not charge a penny for his assistance. Thank you Ralph and Gary." Andy Wong, Chief Engineer
