How much money will I need for my retirement plan?

Your retirement plans are as individual as you are. The amount you will need effectively depends on your chosen lifestyle, your age now and at retirement and your life expectancy. As we are all living longer and healthier lives, you’ll want to ensure you have sufficient wealth to fund a comfortable and enjoyable retirement. Our experienced retirement planners can review your current savings and investments, model your likely expenditure and let you know if you are on track to achieve the retirement that you desire.

Should I prioritise saving into a pension or an ISA?

In an ideal world, you’d want to maximise the tax advantages of both. But assuming you have a few other things to spend your money on, investing in pensions should in most instances be your priority. Pension contributions will not only help you save money for your retirement, but they can also lower your income tax.

Should I consolidate my pensions?

Many people have several different pensions, especially if they have changed jobs several times during their careers. There can be definite advantages to bringing all your pensions together in one place, such as ease of management and fewer charges. However, that’s not always the case, as some pension transfers can incur penalties and there may be a risk of undermining guarantees. If you have multiple pensions, we can offer advice on how best to manage them to ensure that you get the maximum benefit in the context of your wider financial situation.

What is the best way to benefit from my pension?

Annuities, flexible income drawdown, defined contribution schemes; pensions are so complex it’s no wonder so many of us struggle to make sense of the schemes and strategies available. And no one solution is right for everyone. For our retirement planners though, understanding the ever-changing complexities around pensions is a foundational aspect to providing proper and informed retirement planning advice to our clients. We’ll use our knowledge and experience to guide you through such challenges and help you select the best option for you and your family.
