Will there be penalties on transferring the retirement annuity?


There may be a ‘penalty’ from the existing provider if participating employees transfer their retirement annuity (RA) to 10X. These penalties represent a claw back of unrecovered broker commissions and costs. 

This should not, however, be a factor in the decision to transfer as the existing RA will deduct these commissions and costs anyway, either now when they transfer or in the future, over the remaining life of the RA. At 10X, we do not pay up-front broker commissions. Employees therefore do not incur any ‘penalties’ if they transfer their 10X Retirement Annuity.
