Retirement Planning: The Importance of an Independent Pension Review
Mark Scott, an experienced financial adviser from Positive Advisers, explains why seeking independent pension advice is crucial to ensure that you’re making the most of your financial growth opportunities.
Understanding the Shortcomings of Neglected Pension Schemes
Throughout our working lives, we often accumulate various pension pots, especially when moving between jobs. It’s all too common for these pensions to be left unmonitored, which can lead to suboptimal performance and missed growth opportunities. As your independent financial adviser, my role is to breathe new life into these dormant assets, ensuring they work as hard as they can to secure your retirement dreams.
The Personal Touch of an Independent Financial Adviser
Splitting assets during a divorce is not as straightforward as it may seem. Some assets may have significant tax implications, while others involve complex legal structures. A financial adviser can help you understand the true value of your assets, taking into account factors such as tax, liquidity, and future growth potential. This can ensure that the division of assets is fair and financially optimal for you.
Simplifying Your Retirement with Pension Consolidation
Managing multiple pension plans can be overwhelming, often leading to a tangled web of
paperwork, contacts, and fees. I can help you cut through this complexity by consolidating your pensions, where appropriate. This process not only simplifies your retirement planning but can also reduce administrative costs, leaving you with more time and money to focus on what matters most.
