Your pension is part of a bigger picture.

We start with your life and what matters to you, then consider how your pensions fit alongside your savings, investments and other commitments.

  • The lifestyle you would like in retirement
  • The income you may need and where it could come from
  • The people you want to look after
  • How your plans might change over time

A conversation first. A clearer plan next.

You can come with a folder of paperwork or simply a question you’ve been meaning to ask.

1. Tell us what matters

We take time to understand your circumstances, your priorities and your concerns.

2. Understand your options

We review your arrangements and explain the choices, costs and risks in plain English.

3. Agree your next steps

We explain our recommendations and fees so you can decide how you would like to proceed.

Questions you might be asking

Should I bring my pensions together?

Combining pensions can make them easier to manage, but it isn’t always suitable. A review should consider charges, investment options, guarantees, protected benefits and any employer contributions before a decision is made.

How do I know if I’m saving enough?

Start with the future you would like and the pensions and other resources you already have. We can help you explore how your current arrangements relate to your goals and what changes you might consider.

When could I afford to retire?

That depends on your circumstances, spending needs and available resources. We can help you look at the income you may need, how long it may need to last and how different retirement choices could affect your plans.

What if I’m already taking a pension income?

Planning continues into retirement. We can review your income needs, investments and other assets as your circumstances change, including the risks involved in drawing on your pension.

How do my pensions fit with plans for my family?

Your pensions should be considered alongside your other assets and your wishes for the people who matter to you. Pension and tax rules can change, so a review should reflect your circumstances and the rules that apply at the time.

What should I bring to a first conversation?

If you have recent pension statements, they can be a useful starting point. Don’t let missing paperwork stop you getting in touch; we can explain what information would help and discuss the next steps.

Let’s start with your questions.

Whether retirement is years away or already here, we can help you understand your pensions and consider your next steps.
