FAQ'S
Frequently asked questions about Retirement and Pension Planning...
1. Should I consolidate my pensions?
Often yes, to reduce complexity and fees, but only if benefits (guarantees, protected growth) aren’t lost in the move. We’ll analyse each pot to decide what makes sense for you.
2. What’s the difference between drawdown and an annuity?
Drawdown keeps your pot invested while withdrawing income; an annuity guarantees income for life (or term) but usually at fixed rates. Each has trade-offs we’ll walk through together.
3. How much income can I safely take?
It depends on your total assets, life expectancy, taxation, and desired risk. Our cashflow modelling helps define a sustainable rate specific to your needs.
4. Can I still grow my pension during retirement?
Yes, in drawdown the remaining capital stays invested (less withdrawals). We’ll show you how much “growth buffer” is appropriate given your goals.
5. What about state pension and other income?
We’ll factor in your state pension and any other income (rental, dividends) into the full plan to avoid tax surprises or shortfalls.
