Hall-ward Independent Financial Advisers

The dynamic nature of pensions, coupled with fluctuating economic conditions and longer life expectancies, underscores the importance of making informed decisions today for a secure retirement tomorrow. Expert and professional pension advice is crucial to navigate the evolving landscape of legislation. Whether establishing new plans or reassessing existing strategies, Hall-Ward offers assistance tailored to optimize your retirement opportunities.

Instead of opting for a guaranteed pension through an annuity, you have the alternative of utilizing a "flexi access" income drawdown plan. This approach allows you to generate a regular retirement income by investing your pension pot into a diverse range of investments specifically tailored for this purpose. With income drawdown, your fund remains invested, and you receive income directly from it. It's important to note that the value of the fund can fluctuate, and there are no guarantees; therefore, careful consideration is necessary. We analyze cashflow projections to determine how long your fund could sustain a certain level of income withdrawal. This option is well-suited for clients seeking greater flexibility and the potential to preserve funds for their family's benefit.
