We have been dealing with clients' pensions for over 28 years. We can clarify your situation rapidly and then guide you towards realistic retirement income levels.
1. Usually we just need a letter of authority to the pension provider Company(ies) concerned. 2. In the meantime we will discuss with you what level of pension you require and at what age it is required. 4. We will then obtain up to date valuations of your existing arrangements and quantify your projected pension income from this/these source(s). 4. Knowing what is already available enables us to calculate any shortfall from your target and we can then make recommendations as to how best to fill any gap. Instead of reading pages and pages of jargon on annual statements please telephone and I will analyse your current situation and prepare a full summary report for you, irrespective of which company or companies your current arrangements are with.
