What stage of retirement are you at?

I’m planning for retirement

Explore the options that suit your current situation and get help in putting aside as much as you can reasonably afford.

I’m approaching retirement

Our retirement planning advisers could review your pensions and investments to see if your current plans are on track.

I’m already retired

Even if you’re not working anymore, your retirement pot should still be working for you. Good advice on when to access your pension, drawing an income, and how to protect and build on your lump sum can be really useful.

How much do you need to retire?

Planning ahead and putting some more money aside if you can afford to could help you put stronger plans in place for retirement.

Important information…

For pensions and flexible retirement solutions your capital is at risk and you may get back less than you originally invested. Your eventual income will depend on the size of your fund at retirement, future interest rates and tax legislation. If you take too much income too quickly your fund could be depleted or run out altogether.
