Retirement planning
We all have our own perspective on retirement. Whether it’s making the most of your hobbies, travelling the world, or simply spending more time with your family, it pays to think ahead with a retirement plan that allows you to enjoy your post-work years.
Post-work living
Will you make a century?
Reaching the age of 100 may seem a fanciful prospect but based on United Nations estimates, it’s a fast-growing age group. So how do you prepare for a financially secure future and ensure you have enough money to fund what could potentially be 30-40 years of post-work living? Faced with the vast array of financial options, our retirement planning service can provide a bespoke wealth plan that encompasses all your assets and positions your finances for drawing down your wealth to fund a long life well lived.

Drawdown

Mitigating the risks
Regular reviews ensure you remain on track
The drawdown phase of retirement brings three new risks that should be considered. By regularly reviewing your wealth plan, you can help to mitigate these key risks and ensure you remain on track to enjoy the retirement you planned for.
-
Inflation risk
Inflation erodes the value of money over time which is even more damaging once you’re retired. Inflation of 3% could devalue your money by 50% over 25 years.
-
Longevity risk
With increasing life expectancy comes the real fear your money could run out before you do.
-
Sequence of returns risk
Stock markets are unpredictable and a poor sequence of returns in early retirement coupled with regular withdrawals can have a severe impact on your retirement experience.

Funding your lifestyle
Joined up wealth planning and investment advice
How you use your accumulated investments, pensions, and savings to fund your lifestyle right to the end is a question that can only be answered with joined up wealth management and investment advice. In the drawdown phase, it’s important to withdraw funds in the most efficient way, which generally means taking from the least tax-efficient investments first and allowing your other investments to continue to grow.
Depending on your personal circumstances, your pension may be the last pot you should draw from as pensions can currently be passed to the next generation in the UK with no inheritance tax payable. As pension and taxation rules change frequently, we’ll regularly review your wealth plan to ensure it remains on track to meet your needs.
