i) The cash equivalent transfer value is the actuarially assessed value of the retirement scheme benefits accrued by a member at a point in time. The benefits valued are the member's accrued benefits and include benefits related to service transferred in from previous employment. It represents a payment which would be made by a retirement benefit scheme to secure benefits in another scheme or arrangement should a member leave the scheme and choose to transfer the benefits they have accrued in this and any former scheme. Annual changes in the cash equivalent transfer value are determined by market conditions.
