Planning your retirement

Pursuing a new hobby. Travelling the world. Or simply spending more time with your family and friends. Retirement is about doing the things you’ve always wanted to do. What's clear is we all want something different from retirement. On your last day of work, you’ll want to know your retirement is well funded, so it’s essential to plan ahead.

Longer life, longer retirement

Average life expectancy is on the rise, meaning your retirement may last for a third of your lifetime. Pension legislation is evolving and there’s a lot more choice now, than in the past. But this has made the landscape ever more complex.

Listening to your aspirations and gaining an understanding of your situation will help us to set you on the path to the retirement you’ve been working towards all your life.

What to consider when planning your retirement

Does my investment manager understand my needs?

No two clients are the same. You’ll get a personal service tailored to your needs. Our retirement experts will ensure you make the right decisions for your life after work.

What financial planning do I need to think about?

We’ll handle that. Our joined-up approach means you’ll have access to specialist advice from senior staff across the business. Unlike other firms, we have in-house investment management, tax advice and financial planning to help you plan every aspect of your retirement. And we are happy to work with any other business that may be advising you in these matters.

What tax will I pay in retirement?

Are your pension funds protected from inheritance tax in the event of your death before or after you retire? Our tax advisers will be able to help you find out.

But will the advice I get be independent?

We don’t provide our own financial products, like insurance policies, pensions or annuities. You can be sure you’ll get independent, fee-based advice on the widest possible selection of pension products from a trusted adviser.
