Private pensions just got better for everyone

The Chancellor has finished speaking. The pundits have had their say. The politicians have argued. But one thing is undeniable about the 2017 Budget. If you have a private pension, it’s great news for you.

Assuming the Chancellor’s proposals are accepted – and there’s no reason to suppose they won’t be – you are going to have much more control over your pensions from April 2015.

Pensions will become much more flexible and will allow you to take the money you want when you want it. No more being forced into taking an annuity – you can really make your pension work in the way you want it to work.

So the proposed changes are great news – but they’re also a potential minefield.

The Chancellor’s proposals are exactly what we’ve been advocating – but we know that greater freedom and flexibility mean that clients will need more, not less advice. There are now far more options when you retire.

With this new found pension freedom a lot of people are going to face a lot of choices – and without proper expert advice a lot of the decisions they make  may be wrong.

If the budget announcement has put your pension at the forefront of you mind, why not review yours now

We’re experienced, we’re independent – and we’ll make sure that your pension really works for you.
