WHAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE?
Your pension fund records will remain with Eckler until March 31, 2024 and are being transferred to Element at the beginning of April 2024.

Once you receive your pension statement you should review it and contact Element to update any incorrect information, such as your address, date of birth, or beneficiary.
