Thinking about the future
Your AVCs are one part of your plans for later life income. You should also be taking into account the benefits that are provided by your scheme as a whole.
It's also worth keeping track of your state pension entitlement and understanding how much you could receive and when that will come into effect. It's also important to make sure if any of your plans change, you understand how these will impact your retirement goals.
