Accessing your Pension Savings
Retiring or simply want to get hold of the money in your pension? You have a few options. But to know which one is right for you, you'll need to speak with a pension expert.
Taking professional financial advice not only grows but also protects your retirement income.
A Flexible Income in Retirement
The most flexible way to access your savings is through drawdown. It allows you to take what you need whenever you want it.
The first 25% that you take from your pension pot is completely tax-free, and the rest of your fund stays invested. So unlike an annuity, anything left in the fund can be inherited by your loved ones.
Better Than a Calculator
With so many factors that go into calculating a retirement income (such as pension value, personal retirement plans, and attitude to investment risk), online calculators are entirely inaccurate.
Complete our simple form to connect with a pension drawdown adviser and they’ll help you calculate the best possible income for your retirement.
