Pension Guides

To help guide you through the jargon and make the right retirement choices, these pension guides should answer your questions and help you through the whole of your pension process from just starting out to actually retiring in comfort.

Pension Types

There are a number of different pension schemes to consider. When starting your pension, you will need to think about whether you would like to participate in your company’s pension scheme or whether you’d prefer to have a personal pension. Not only that, but when it comes to retiring, you need to think about whether you want to buy an annuity – and if so, which type – or whether you would prefer to opt for income drawdown.
