Retirement Planning

Advising on final salary and defined benefit pension transfers is a highly specialised, complex and regulated area of financial advice. At Vizion Wealth we work together with clients from all over the UK, our advisers are pension transfer specialists meaning they have the highest possible qualifications in understanding pensions and the pros and cons of transferring. If you have a final salary or defined benefit pension, we will arrange a review of your scheme. We work with an external agency to undertake this review, so you can be certain that we are acting completely impartially. If the recommendation is to transfer your pension, our pension transfer specialists will then assist with implementing the recommendations and ensuring the funds are managed appropriately on an ongoing basis.

This includes clients funding for retirement, moving into retirement or those clients already retired. retired.

What’s important to remember, it’s never too early – or too late – to think about your retirement and to seek solid financial advice to achieve your retirement goals. For many people, the savings that are accumulated during their working lives are directed at helping them to become financially secure in retirement. But, too often, some people continue to save without a clear view of how much money they will need to live the life they desire for the entirety of their retirement. This can create uncertainty around when they can retire in alignment with their financial goals, uncertainty that we are here to remove.
