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.

Mrs T Truman, Woolaston, Gloucestershire

We sold our business 3 years ago and after paying off several debts we had a financial pot which we were keen to invest for the future as we were still relatively young and needed our money to work for us. We spoke to several Financial Advisers who were extremely pushy in their approach and did not fill us with the greatest confidence. We met Stephen by chance through a mutual friend and immediately struck up a rapport. It was refreshing to talk to someone in the sector who let us do the talking about what we wanted. Once we had established we would like to work together he provided us with...

Kim & Chris, Abergavenny

I have been a client of Peter Davies and Create Wealth Management for about 10 years now and have been consistently impressed and delighted with the care and attention Peter has always shown in understanding my needs. From the time he put in place arrangements to relieve me of my inheritance tax liabilities to the ongoing monitoring of my investment funds he has ensured that I have enjoyed both a regular income and capital growth from them; just exactly what I requested.

Mrs M Howell, Newport, Pembs.

Stephen has always set aside time for myself and my wife to review our options on investments, we never feel rushed into decisions. His advice over the last 2.5 years has proven to be very beneficial to us. Advice in this field can be very daunting to the layman, but Stephen is always prepared to bring it to our level to help explain it fully.
