How we help you

People are living longer today than they ever have, which means you may have more time to spend with your family and loved ones in retirement. We help to ensure that you can add life to your years instead of just adding years to your life with our creative financial planning tools

Since Pension Freedoms were introduced in 2015, there’s more choice when it comes to accessing your retirement funds and starting the next chapter of your life. We can guide you to maximise valuable pension savings as well as minimising or extinguishing tax through calculating the most suitable solutions.

Some of the ways we can help you include:

Comparing different methods of accessing your pension

We’ll carry out due diligence on the costs and benefits of annuities, drawdown, and other options.

Looking into any tax reliefs that may apply to you

We’ll check what arrangements could be made to allow you to take advantage of any available benefits.

Analysing your existing personal pension arrangements

Using the latest software, we can see if your pensions are still competitive in today’s environment. There could be economies of scale in amalgamating legacy pension plans into modern online based pensions, offering a wider range of options to suit your circumstances and ethical preferences.

Assessing which schemes might be best suited to you

We can design the most suitable destinations for your hard earned savings. This could range from a combination of secure lifetime income and a more flexible pension drawdown plan.

A self-invested personal pension (SIPP) or similar scheme may provide you with greater opportunities. You could qualify for an Enhanced Annuity, subject to your existing medical conditions and lifestyle factors.
