Income drawdown & self invested personal pensions

Having worked hard to build a pension pot sufficient to retire, you will want to maximise your income at retirement.

Birkett Long IFA’s team of experienced financial planning managers will work with you to explain the options available to you in retirement, whether it be income drawdown, annuity or an alternative income option.

Pension freedoms announced in the last few years by the Government have given individuals greater choice at retirement. Income Drawdown is something many are now considering due to the greater flexibility it offers and the possibly of passing the remaining pension, free of Tax, to your beneficiaries on death. Birkett Long IFA’s independent financial planning managers will guide you through the options at retirement and often review the arrangements with you annually.

Some questions you may have are: 

  • When can I start drawing my pension?
  • Will my health impact on my pension?
  • Should I take the tax free cash lump sum?
  • Do I have to purchase an annuity?

Pensions and retirement are very complex areas. Birkett Long IFA provides independent advice in a clear and concise way to help you reach the most appropriate solutions for your circumstances.

For more information and a free, initial meeting about making the most of your pension please contact us on 01206 217309.
