Pre-Retirement Planning

Pensioner poverty is a real threat. From the 6th April 2022 the Basic State Pension is £185.15 a week. In contrast average UK household spending is £ £588 per week. (Office of National Statistics 2021). Without personal savings that means a two person household could face an income shortfall of up to £217.70 per week. However, mortgage, or dependents to payments may not exist in retirement, so the total income shortfall may be less. What is clear is that reliance on the Basic State Pension to provide for your comfortable retirement income alone, is a very high-risk strategy.

We help you by: Reviewing your existing retirement savings to ensure they are suitable for your individual needs, provide tax efficient savings and the best possible return appropriate to you.
