Pensions & Retirement Options

It’s no exaggeration to say that there’s never been a greater need for high-quality, impartial, pension advice. Recent policy and regulatory changes to pensions and savings mean that many more individuals face complex choices often shrouded in jargon that seem utterly confusing.

Planning for retirement is what most people put off thinking about until they see retirement on the horizon, by which time it can be too late to build a comfortable future. The reality is the sooner you start funding for your financial future, the higher your retirement income is likely to be.

Using figures provided by Legal & General, a 25 year old contributing £150 per month could have an income at age 65 that is more than double that of a 40 year old funding the same amount to age 65.

The Government will help in retirement, although with a flat rate State Pension of £140 per a week / £606 per month most people will need private funding to help provide a more comfortable income in retirement.

Retirement Options is deciding how to utilise your accumulated pension fund when you reach retirement. Retiring means different things to different people. It could be stopping work all together, working part-time or changing jobs. The current pension rules allow for flexible retirement options to meet the needs of the retiring population.

At retirement you are faced with making big decisions that affects your future retirement. It may seem like a daunting prospect, although Inspire Financial Planning can help guide you through the options to find the most suitable solution to meet your needs.

  • Can you afford your income to fluctuate?
  • Do you have other non-pension assets?

You can ask for an estimate or set a ceiling on our fees in advance. Not all advice results in buying a financial product, and in this instance we will charge you a fee for our time. If, however, a suitable financial product is purchased, we may receive a commission paid from the provider’s charges. This reduces the amount available for investment, but we will always advise you of this before you make the purchase.
