Between work, family, and friends, life can feel full and it’s easy to put off thinking about retirement. But planning ahead isn’t just about finances; it’s about making sure your future reflects the life you want to lead. Whether that means more time outdoors, travelling with your family, or simply having the freedom to choose how you spend your days, a solid retirement plan helps make it all possible.

Introducing our Retirement report.

We surveyed people aged 45 and over across the UK to understand their thoughts on retirement planning

This report is designed to guide you through the key considerations, options, and actions that can help you build a retirement plan tailored to your unique circumstances. From understanding your pension and savings to exploring investment choices and lifestyle planning, we’ll help you take confident steps toward a fulfilling retirement.

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.
