Saving Retirement

With greater choice and freedom in how and when individuals are able to access their pension pots, there is now a greater need for early education and advanced planning.

This is where we come in. Our service is different to many because we educate, guide and advise individuals throughout their entire retirement journey.

Tailored Communications

All members receive generic communications.

However, upon reaching 10 years before their selected retirement date, members also receive our more tailored communications programme. Emails contain articles specific to the term remaining until retirement.

We are able to offer scheme-specific communications incorporating firms' corporate branding and messaging.

"We provide dedicated e-newsletters to our clients and prospects to update on all key developments and legislation"

Continued Growth

We offer support throughout retired years with continued access to our innovative online portal Aspire to Retire and our dedicated telephone consultants.

Tailored Communications

On reaching 10 years before a member’s default or intended retirement date they start to receive a more tailored communication programme. Emails are sent periodically, and more frequently as they approach their final year before taking benefits.

Emails contain articles specific to the term remaining from their intended retirement date. We are also able to offer scheme-specific communications incorporating firms' corporate branding and messaging.

Point of Retirement

Your members may well be thinking about how best to convert their pension savings into cash and/or retirement income. We can help by:

discussing the various retirement options available to the member including taking a tax-free lump sum, withdrawal of funds, a guaranteed income for life, drawdown or a blend of solutions
providing pension freedom illustrations and supporting information so that your members can easily compare their options
discussing the most tax efficient way for members to take their retirement benefits and when these should commence
