The value of your investments can go down as well as up, so you could get back less than you invested.
Although you must look at incorporating a whole range of vehicles for your retirement plan, one of the most integral parts of retirement planning is the use of pensions.
We can research the Whole of the Market on your behalf to find a suitable Pension plan, it may be that a PPP meets your needs for retirement provision. These contracts are very flexible and can allow tax relievable contributions to be made of up to 100% of your earnings or £3,600 whichever is the greater) subject to a maximum of £40,000 per annum which is the current annual allowance.
Furthermore these plans can be set up for non-working spouses and even children and grandchildren.
Benefits can currently be drawn from age 55 onwards.
There are a bewildering range of savings and investment vehicles available to the investor. The right investment portfolio should reflect your tax position and align with your attitude to risk. It should further meet your requirement to generate income, growth or a combination of both.
We are proud to introduce our web-based service, in conjunction with Standard Life, which enables our Clients to have greater control of their finances.

There are many forms of life assurance and choosing the right one for you can depend upon a number of factors including tax, cost and the protection required.
Life assurance can be used to protect income, loved ones, businesses and, in certain circumstances, can be arranged in such a way as to minimise the effect of tax.
Pension legislation has enabled complete flexible access to Money Purchase Pensions through Flexi Access Drawdown (FAD). This is now the most popular way of taking pension benefits and an area that we are experts in, but it is an area where care has to be taken to ensure that tax considerations and sustainability of any income is fully considered.
Some features include:
According to latest estimates, over 1.6 million pension plans totalling £19.4 billion are currently lost and are missing owners. We can help you track down details of any old pension plans that you may have and advise how they could fit in with your overall retirement plan.
In some circumstances, these old plans may be outdated, expensive and inflexible. If this is the case, we can advise and perhaps consolidate, as appropriate.
Please note: Although we can help you track down old Final Salary (Defined Benefit) schemes and explain your entitlement to you, we do not offer Final Salary transfer advice.
