Pensions

One clear view of every pension you’ve built up.

Old workplace pots, a SIPP opened years ago, charges nobody has checked in a while. We’ll introduce you to one hand-picked, FCA-regulated independent adviser who can put the whole picture on one page. Free, and no obligation.

Old pensions don’t look after themselves.

Four employers, four pots, four sets of charges, and nobody’s job to check any of it. Money sitting in a default fund from 2009, an annual charge you have never seen written down, and no single view of whether it adds up to the retirement you are planning. An independent adviser puts it all on one page first.

What an independent pension adviser looks at.

Consolidating isn’t always right. Sometimes an old pot holds a guarantee worth keeping, and that judgement is exactly what an adviser is for.

Where are my old pots?

Tracing pensions from former employers and getting a single, current picture.

What am I actually paying?

Charges laid out plainly: platform, fund and adviser, so you can see the total.

Does combining make sense?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Some older pots carry guarantees worth more than the tidiness.

Am I on track?

What your pots are likely to produce as income, against the retirement you actually want.

How is it invested?

Whether a default fund chosen years ago still matches your timescale and appetite for risk.

The 2027 pension IHT change

How the new inheritance tax rules on pensions may change what you do with them.

Whole of market, or it isn’t a fair comparison. A restricted adviser can only compare what is on their own shelf, which makes “we looked at the market” a very small market. Every adviser we introduce you to is independent and FCA regulated, free to recommend any provider, or to tell you that leaving a pension exactly where it is would serve you better.

Three steps, one introduction.
