The Government has recently proposed a single-tier, flat-rate state pension worth around £140 a week and are currently consulting on how this might be introduced in 2015 at the earliest.
Recent research has revealed that almost two out of three people (63%) think they couldn’t live on £140 a week in retirement, rising to 72% for those aged 55 and over. And with more than one in six Brits (17%) not doing any financial planning, now is an excellent time to discuss your long term savings requirements and consult our specialist Retirement and Investment Advisers on any of the following subjects:
- Personal Pensions
- Self Invested Pensions
- Corporate Pensions
- Pension Consolidation service
- Asset Allocation and Pension review services
