Personal Retirement Bond

A Personal Retirement Bond (PRB), which is also sometimes known as a Buy-Out-Bond, is used by the trustees of a pension scheme to buy retirement benefits for former members of their pension scheme. … When a member leaves a pension scheme, the value of their fund when they leave the pension scheme is invested in the bond.

A Personal Retirement Bond (PRB) is a personal policy that is set up by trustees of a pension scheme or an ex-member of the OPS, to provide retirement benefits for a former member of the scheme. It basically means that if you leave a pension scheme, you can bring your pension benefits with you by having the value of your fund invested in a bond.
