This report is here to help you shape a retirement plan that reflects your individual goals and lifestyle. It offers clear, practical insights into the options available; from pensions and savings to investment strategies and lifestyle planning.

The retirement reality check

What’s holding people back from planning their financial future?

0% have never spoken to a financial adviser about their retirement plans.

0% of those who haven’t sought advice believe that they don’t have enough money to make it worthwhile.

0% admit that don’t review their pension regularly, while 13% have never reviewed it at all.

Remember, the amount you receive from your pension plan when you retire will depend on several factors, including how much your plan is worth at the time you take your benefits. This value can go down as well as up, so it's not guaranteed. There’s a chance that the value of your plan could be less than the total amount you’ve paid in.
