Benefits

Obtaining professional advice on your pension savings could see you significantly better off. According to research by International Longevity Centre - UK.

“They found that “People who take financial advice are, on average, £47,000 better off in retirement than people who don’t.”.

Getting financial advice may also benefit you in many different ways, including:

• Future security - considering your income needs for later in life
• Peace of mind - knowing you have the choices available to you explained and considered
• Confidence - reducing the risk of making financial decisions that don’t meet your needs
• Investment choice - helping you choose a solution that balances your risk appetite and personal circumstances
• Planning for the unknown - making sure you and your family have safeguards in place against unforeseen circumstances.
