Almost half of UK consumers find pensions information daunting
In an era where the cost of living is threatening to undermine consumer confidence, it’s no surprise that almost half of UK consumers find pensions information overwhelming. It can be difficult for individuals to make informed decisions about their retirement planning when faced with such a daunting task.
17% of self-employed workers would choose to carry on working through illness or injury
Many adults understand the need for financial resilience and taking out insurance to protect their incomes in case of sickness or accident.

Ready to start investing for your grandchild’s future?
Investing in the future of your grandchildren is a great way to help them prepare for their financial needs in life. By setting aside money now, you can provide them with added security and increased opportunities in the years to come. Investing for grandchildren can be used to help fund college tuition, make a down payment on their first car or home, or even start a retirement fund.
Make sure your retirement strategy meets your needs and goals
It’s important to make a well-informed decision when it comes to deciding what to do with your pension pot: drawdown, annuity or a combination of both. Making the right choice will affect your retirement for many years.
It goes without saying that there’s no time like the present to kick-start your retirement planning. The earlier you start, the better. You’ll then be able to set about realistic goal setting and, importantly, diversification of your investments. Working hard to save for your retirement is an important endeavour.

Getting your affairs in order for when you pass away can bring real peace of mind as you get older. Failing to protect family wealth from Inheritance Tax could cost families thousands of pounds but there are various strategies and solutions to legally avoid or mitigate paying this tax.
Transferring of wealth from one family generation to the next
With careful planning it is possible to significantly reduce the need for your estate to pay Inheritance Tax. We spend a lifetime generating wealth and assets but not many of us ensure that it will be passed to the next generation – our children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and so on. Estate preservation planning is the transferring of wealth from one family generation to the next.
Owning a residence which you leave to direct descendants
The introduction of the ‘residence nil-rate band’ (RNRB) has made it easier for some individuals to pass on the family home. The rise in property prices throughout the UK means that even those with modest assets may exceed the £325,000 ‘nil-rate band’ (NRB) for Inheritance Tax.
