Building your pension plan
Pre-retirement/growth
Saving for a comfortable retirement is not a one-time event – it’s an ongoing process. That’s why we’ll work with you to regularly review and adjust your pension plan as your life and financial situation change.
Pre-retirement/growth
Our process begins by thoroughly assessing your current financial situation, including any existing pension arrangements.
From there, we’ll work with you to define your retirement goals, considering factors such as desired lifestyle, retirement age and anticipated expenses. Based on this in-depth understanding, we’ll develop a personalised pension plan tailored to your needs.
With our guidance, you’ll select the optimal blend of pension investments that aligns with your requirements, paving the way for the retirement you desire. We’ll help you navigate the complexities of pension planning while keeping your best interests at heart.
By your side
Your trusted partner
You may have existing pensions which you’re either currently paying into, or have become paid-up and deferred. Throughout your working lifetime, you may have changed employers several times, with each employer providing you with a pension scheme you were once an active member of. We regularly see clients with several pensions that are drifting and are asked to consolidate these schemes so they can understand and simplify their understanding and plan more efficiently.
Consolidation can save money, but more so, we help establish or maintain the suitability to meet your individual requirements. Some pension schemes offer valuable benefits, including guarantees that would be a bad idea to lose. Other schemes could leave you in a poorly-performing fund or expose you to an unsuitable levels of investment risk.
Why take the chance? Our expert, independent team can help you understand your current financial position and options, to ensure you make informed decisions about your retirement.
Make the right choices
What can I invest in?
Life circumstances, financial markets and legislative changes can impact your retirement strategy. That’s why we offer regular reviews to ensure your pension plan remains aligned with your goals. We’ll monitor your investments, assess their performance and adjust as needed, keeping you on track to achieve your desired retirement income.
Here are some of the options we can help you with:
Defined Contribution Pension
If you want flexibility over your retirement, a defined contribution pension may be the right choice. We’ll explain the advantages of this type of pension, helping you make the right decisions regarding contributions, investment options and potential retirement income.
Defined Benefit Pension
If you have an existing defined benefit pension, we’ll help you understand and maximise the benefits these schemes offer.
We’ll help you navigate the complexities, such as retirement age, pension entitlements and options for increasing your income.
Self-Invested Personal Pension
If you want a wider range of investment choices and more control over your pension portfolio, a self-invested personal pension (SIPP) might be ideal. We’ll explain the benefits of SIPPs, helping you select the best investments and monitor their performance.
State or Workplace Pensions
If you need advice on where your state or existing workplace pensions sit within your pension strategy, we’re here to guide you.
We’ll help you navigate complexities to maximise the benefits and optimise your pensions portfolio for a secure financial future.
Your investment preferences
Understanding risk is a vital part of the investing equation.
But it’s also very significant for us to understand your investment preferences.
Ethical investment is becoming an increasingly high priority for investors.
Climate awareness and treating and protecting sustainable assets and services can be an integral part of the investing criteria for some. Investments demonstrating responsibility shown by companies towards people or the environment can also be factored into modern investment solutions, whether in a pension or investment. If making a difference by positive impact investing is central to your beliefs and values, we’ll work with you to build a bespoke solution that meets these preferences.
Stress test and management
Not all investments perform as expected all the time. While past performance isn’t necessarily a guide to future performance, we can model the impact and consequences of unexpected under performance. We can stress test the impact of under-performance and identify the consequences should this happen on your financial position, so you can understand the risks and make the right choices.
