Pension planning

What is pension planning?

Turning what you've saved into an income that lasts.

Most people have more than one pension. Many have never added them up. The decisions you make about contributions, investments, and timing determine what the next 25 years look like. A good plan closes the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

Know what you have

Most people are surprised when they add it all up. We start by getting the full picture.

Understand what it's worth

A pot of money means nothing if you don't know what you can turn it into. We help you understand what it could be worth as a regular income.

Close the gap

Between where you are and the life you want. The sooner you start, the more options you have.

The questions people arrive with

The questions people actually arrive with.

People don't come to us saying "I need pension advice." They come with questions that sound like:

I have four pension pots from four different jobs and I've lost track of what any of them are worth

My company just offered me early retirement. I have six weeks to decide

I'm 54 and I have no idea whether I can afford to stop at 60.

These are pension questions. But the pension isn't the point. The life behind it is.

The rules are complex and they change. The consequences of getting them wrong take decades to show up. That's a reasonable argument for someone in your corner who can explain it plainly.

What doing nothing costs

What doing nothing costs.

Most people think they don't need an advisor. Most people haven't tried one.

Only 28% would pay for pension advice. Yet pension decisions are among the most consequential you'll make. And mistakes can last decades.

Cash feels safe but isn't neutral. Over 20 years, £100,000 in cash becomes £122,000. A diversified portfolio at 5% makes it £265,000.

The difference is not a financial argument. It is 25 years of what that money is for.

We have Pension Transfer Specialists

Not every firm does.

Pension transfer specialists

Taming complexity.

It matters when your situation is complicated and the stakes of getting it wrong are high. Defined benefit transfers and pension sharing orders on divorce require a level of qualification most advisors don't hold.

Not any plan. Your plan.

But most of what we do is simpler than that. We look at the full picture. We tell you the truth about where you stand. We build a plan around the life you want, not a plan borrowed from someone else's.

Built to last.

Then we keep it current. Life doesn't stay still and neither should your plan. Rules change, markets move, and what you want from your money shifts with the years. A plan that isn't updated stops being yours.
