At retirement advice

Reaching retirement is a major milestone — but it also brings important financial decisions.

We will help you transition from saving to retiring with confidence. Whether you’re ready to retire now or planning for the near future, our expert advisers are here to guide you every step of the way. From understanding your options to structuring your withdrawals, we provide clear, personalised advice to help you make informed choices.

How we help you plan for your retirement

 

Based on our expert assessment of your needs, plans and hopes for your retirement, we: 

  • Understand your retirement options | we help you explore the full range of choices available at retirement—from annuities and drawdown to lump sum withdrawals and phased retirement

  • Create a sustainable income plan | we design a strategy to turn your pension savings into a reliable income stream that supports your lifestyle throughout retirement

  • Maximise tax efficiency | we advise on how to access your pension in the most tax-efficient way, helping you retain more of your hard-earned savings

  • Protect against longevity and inflation | we build in safeguards to help ensure your income keeps pace with rising costs and lasts as long as you need it

  • Plan for the unexpected | we help you prepare for life’s uncertainties—such as health issues or market volatility—so your retirement plan remains resilient

  • Leave a legacy | we guide you on how to pass on your remaining pension or assets in a tax-efficient way, supporting the people and causes you care about
