Setting goals is essential to creating a viable pension plan. It will help you manage your money, make solid financial decisions and provide financial security in later life.

An array of available options

When it comes to pensions, the best idea is to start early. There are several options worth pursuing. For example, paying National Insurance contributions will help build your state pension. Investing in a workplace pension, if possible, is advisable as your employer will also contribute. If you have spare money, a private pension can offer an additional stream of income.

There are also options when it comes to taking your pension. These include withdrawing cash, opting for income drawdown or buying an annuity. We can help you understand the options, how best to mix them, and what returns you can expect.

Getting your pension planning started

Your best chance of getting a decent pension pot is to start young. This will allow you to take advantage of compound interest and make higher risk investments that give higher rewards. To ensure you have the retirement you’re dreaming of, you first need to consider several things.  

You’ll need to know what income you would like in retirement. It’s a good idea to know what size state pension you are likely to receive. This will allow you to calculate how big your pension pot needs to be to create an adequate income in your retirement. It will help to look at your current expenditure and intended retirement age.  

Reducing, and ultimately eliminating, your debts is also essential. All of this needs to be included in your pension planning. We can help you create a diverse pension portfolio, allowing you to reach your goals even if things don’t go as expected.

Ask a question
Why should I be thinking about pension planning?

You may want to retire at a certain age, or you may be forced to retire due to ill health. Not being able to work means a dramatically reduced income and you may not be able to rely on the state pension. Pension planning means you’ll be able to afford to enjoy your golden years, whatever happens. 

What’s the right approach to pension planning?

The approach is different for everyone as it depends on what pension plans you already have in place and what income level you would like in retirement. We can help you evaluate your options and select the best plan for your situation and goals. 

How do I start pension planning?

You simply need to know how much income you would like in retirement. This should be based on envisioned spending. Knowing this allows you to calculate how big your pension pot needs to be. We’ll help you understand this and create the right strategy to create the required pension pot.

Can I change my plan and payments before retirement?

Yes! We will monitor your pension plan and funds to help ensure they reach the intended level. We’ll also advise when you should change your contributions or your approach. This is a vital part of the process to ensure your pension planning is successful. 

Can my pension pot be worth less than I’ve invested?
