Pensions and Retirement Planning

Plan and prepare for your retirement.

Pensions and Retirement Planning

Finance your retirement.

Pensions are simply your savings that you could use to fund your retirement, but there is often a lot of confusion about how they work and what all the small print means.

When you reach retirement there are various methods by which you can take a pension income, however, you must be mindful of the limitations and tax considerations. There may also be substantial enhancements that could be lost if you are not careful.

Plan your pension properly.

The tax advantages of pension savings suggest that these should be a pivotal part of your savings pot. Ok, you cannot access them until 10 years before your state pension age, but then that’s the point really!

When the time comes to retire it is vital that a sensible plan is established to ensure that your retirement income lasts and your hard-earned pension pot is not wasted. We will help you with all this and more, including how to direct any remaining funds to your preferred beneficiaries when you die.  

We will recommend the best product with the most effective underlying investment and utilise all of your tax considerations to maximise growth or income potential. Of course, it is always important to keep some cash for a rainy day, we will never recommend that you invest every single penny.

I approached Rickard Lazenby to help with my retirement planning. Everyone was easy to talk to and very knowledgeable, they explained everything clearly and made it seem much less daunting.
