Managing Your Pension In The Lead Up To Retirement
The time when your pension is most at risk is the last few years before retirement and the first few years after retirement.
Many pension savers, especially those in company schemes, are invested in Lifestyle funds. Lifestyling is a kind of one size fits all approach to investing which gradually moves the member’s investment out of higher risk assets like equities, into (supposedly) lower risk assets such as bonds, as the member gets closer to retirement age. While these can be suitable, like any automated process, sometimes they can be desperately unsuitable, as you can read about in this blog post.
If you are approaching retirement, already at the point of retirement or even past it and you’ve never obtained specialist advice we can help.
