CETV (Cash Equivalent Transfer Value)
The Cash Equivalent Transfer Value is the cash value a pension scheme puts on your pension rights if you were to move them to another scheme. In a divorce, each pension's CETV is the usual starting point for dividing it, so ask every scheme for one early. For final salary pensions it can understate what the benefits are really worth.
