Retirement & Pension Planning
Over the years, most people collect a handful of different pensions from old employers, personal schemes, or investments. But when it comes to retirement, the big questions start to creep in:
-
Do I have enough to retire when I want?
-
How do I turn my pension savings into a reliable income?
-
Should I use drawdown, buy an annuity, or combine the two?
-
What happens if I have a final salary scheme?
If you’re asking yourself these questions, you’re not alone — and you don’t need to figure it out by yourself. Our retirement specialists help people every day to understand their pensions and create a clear, personalised plan for retirement.
