Planning a successful retirement

Planning a successful retirement

Back To Services Page

With life expectancies increasing and retirement ages being pushed back, you may be asking yourself how effective your retirement planning actually is. Do you genuinely know what standard of living you will be able to enjoy when you finally stop working? These are the most common questions asked by new clients:

‘Should I put all my pensions together?’
‘Why aren’t my pension plans growing and am I paying in enough?’
‘I’ve not heard from my pension adviser in years, can you help me?’
‘I’ve got a lot of money in my pension, should I have a Self Invested Personal Pension?’
‘Should I buy an annuity or take income drawdown? What’s the difference?’

Despite extensive rule changes in 2006 to ‘simplify’ pensions, pension rules have got more complex over the past few years.

‘Pension Freedom’, introduced in April 2015 has meant clients taking even greater care with their ‘at retirement’ decisions. We can help.

We’ve been able to explain to many clients why their pension scheme is or isn’t working or growing, the correct level to pay in, the pros and cons of consolidating several pensions.

Create Wealth Management has built a reputation on understanding the needs of individuals so that we can help you to make an informed decision about how best to plan, invest and ultimately take your pension benefits at retirement.

The first time I have had money made for me that I have not to pay huge fees to obtain. When other advisers phone I just tell them that I am with Create Wealth they just say that ‘you are with a very good firm’ and that gives me a lot of confidence.

I have known Peter Davies for many years, from the first time I met him 10 years ago when he was at Lloyds Private Banking looking after my money, to now at Create Wealth Management. He has never been less than scrupulous and helpful in managing my affairs and we have built up what I believe is a friendly personal relationship Now I am in a care home and faced with the complexities of sorting out my funding and Peter has been unfailingly helpful and encouraging and if does come to a satisfactory conclusion it will in no small part be due to Peter’s knowhow and advice .
