Retirement. Plan today for the life you want tomorrow

Our independent financial advisers are here to help you make a retirement plan that truly fits your needs, both today and in the future.

Our approach is simple; we listen, we understand, and we advise, so that together we can build the correct pension, investment and saving strategy to give you the lifestyle you want when you retire.
And because life is rarely straight-forward, we will evolve your plans for retirement around whatever life throws at you.
Our mission is to help our clients make smarter and better-informed decisions around their retirement plans, and you can be assured of a highly personal service with options from the whole of the market. With financial advisers based at our offices in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Perth, Stirling, Edinburgh and Glasgow, independent financial advice is closer than you think.

Making the most of your money

Much of retirement planning evolves around pensions, investments and tax allowances - maximising these, at the right time, with the right advice for your situation is key.
With the option to access your pension from as early as 55, there are several options available. Your existing pension provider may offer you any of the following:
  • Annuity – which is the traditional way to access your fund, providing a guaranteed level of income for life.
  • A lump sum – withdrawing up to 25% of your fund tax free.
  • Flexi-access drawdown – taking what you want, when you need it.
  • Phased tax free cash with income.
  • A combination of the above or a partial transfer of your pension– using part of your fund for one of the above options.
  • Alternatively, you may have the option to transfer your pension to another provider, who may offer more flexibility or better charges or annuity rates.
    It all sounds a little complicated, but together we can provide a plan – taking into consideration your savings, investments and other assets, to guide you in the right direction. Find your nearest financial adviser here.
