Pensions may not be everyone’s chosen topic of conversation but at the end of the day, we are all going to need one! The area of pension advice is huge and runs from simple stakeholder plans via small self-administered schemes up to membership of the NHS Pension Scheme.

What are the options at retirement?

We can also assist clients with evaluating their options at retirement and with the new pension rules, there seems to be a wide range of pension questions.

Do you buy an annuity or take advantage of the alternatives? Do you add a spouse's pension? Can you take the whole fund as a lump sum? What age can I take a lump sum? What is a SIPP and is it right for me? Am I taxed on my pension?

We can answer all of your questions so you can approach retirement comfortable with the decisions you have made.
