Our services include:
Many employees struggle to understand basic financial and investment issues and often fail to realise the various benefits on offer in the workplace. Our comprehensive financial education programmes can aid understanding around this and can help your employees make well-informed decisions throughout their career and lead to improvements in their financial wellbeing. This is especially important at-retirement when facing life changing decisions about how to maximise retirement income. For more information, please click here.
As there is a growing need to provide support for pension scheme members at-retirement, Trustees also find that financial education helps their members to fully understand their options at-retirement, which leads to improvements in their retirement outcomes. See our retirement income options service to find out more.
We also offer financial guidance services for employees and pension scheme members who need one-to-one support.

We provide a service to help you implement your unique objectives.
This can include;
Freedom and Choice in pensions has increased the risks and complexity that employees and pensions scheme members face in the lead up to and at-retirement including; falling for a scam, buying inappropriate retirement products, paying more tax than necessary, running out of money, or not understanding the risks around defined benefit pension transfers. This has created a growing need to provide support for employees and members at this stage.
Our comprehensive financial education and guidance programmes can help your employees and pension scheme members understand the key considerations faced in the lead up to and at-retirement. This can be supported by our regulated financial advice service which consider all lifetime savings and pensions to provide a holistic plan for individuals.
We can also help employees and members implement their chosen retirement income option(s) – whether that is an annuity, income drawdown, cash withdrawal or a combination of options. As requirements and circumstances will often change, we also provide ongoing support throughout retirement.

New pension rules will come into force from the 1st February for those approaching retirement under FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) regulation. These new regulations are designed to protect consumers who do not take regulated financial advice as the FCA are concerned that consumers often make poor decisions such as converting their pension investments to cash, which over the average retirement would see a reduction in value in real terms as the return on the cash fails to keep pace with inflation.

Retirement plans for 2021 have changed for many due to the pandemic. Whilst some have decided to put their retirement on hold due to their savings taking a hit because of Covid-19, others are deciding to retire early after being discouraged about finding employment again when faced with redundancy.
