After 12 years teaching in Thailand, I had no idea what would happen to my UK pension when I retired abroad. My GIG advisor walked me through a QROPS transfer that has saved me thousands in tax. I wish I'd found them years earlier.

Hear from international teachers who have taken control of their financial futures with GIG.
GIG visited our school in Dubai and took the time to understand exactly what I needed. Setting up my regular savings plan was straightforward and I finally feel confident about my financial future as an expat.
I was overwhelmed by the investment options available. My advisor cut through the complexity and built a retirement plan tailored to my goals. Five years on and it's performing exactly as projected.
