Questions

Frequently asked questions

How many years before retirement should we start planning?

There is no fixed answer, but many people find it valuable to begin five to ten years ahead. Early planning leaves more room to adjust savings, investments and timing.

Can you help with a pension that is not yet drawn?

Yes. We help you understand how your pension fits alongside your other assets. Where specialist pension advice is needed, we coordinate with the relevant adviser.

Will my portfolio become more cautious as I near retirement?

Your portfolio is reviewed against your objectives and attitude to risk. Any change in positioning is agreed with you and explained in advance.
