Retirement Planning
Pensions and retirement planning
The world of pensions can be very daunting with the constant changes around legislation, the potential benefits you could receive and the different types of pensions available.
In planning for retirement there are many questions both before retirement, including what pensions have I got, when can I retire, am I saving enough and if not what needs to be done. At retirement these questions are often very similar but more immediate including what are the options for my pensions, how the latest government legislation will affect me and how can I take benefits tax efficiently.

Our aim at Haverfords is to help and guide you through the options surrounding pensions at the two important stages of pre-retirement pension planning and when you are at the point in your life where you are retiring, so that you can make informed choices about your future. We also believe this should not be looked at in isolation but rather as part of your overall financial planning strategy that may include property, ISA’s and other forms of investment, thereby ensuring you have confidence that you will not run out of funds in retirement.
