In the UK, there’s an estimated £26.6bn1 in lost or forgotten pensions. That means the average UK worker is missing as much as £28k2 from their retirement money. But there’s good news - this kind of financial hit is completely avoidable.
This one might seem obvious, but it’s easy to lose track of your pension pots, where they are, and what they’re doing. If you make a note of your pension providers, and check your pot(s) regularly, you’re far less likely to lose one of them over time.
Your investment allocation is where and how you’re investing your pension. Often, people will just use their pension provider’s default setting. But this might not actually be right for your retirement goals and risk profile. So, it’s a good idea to revisit this every few years.
If you’ve had a windfall recently, like a pay rise, bonus, or inheritance, putting a portion of it into your pension is a good idea. Not only is it tax-efficient, but you’ll be glad when your retirement comes around.
As an adviser, my role is to help you get all of this done simply, with all the facts and information you need. That might be helping you review your risk profile, consolidating old pension pots, or making a plan to help you retire early.
If that sounds good to you, please get in touch.
The value of pensions and the income they produce can fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you invested. Tax Planning is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Tax treatment varies according to individual circumstances and is subject to change.

I am a financial adviser with over 20 years of experience, dedicated to helping individuals, families, and businesses across Cornwall achieve financial clarity and peace of mind. My passion lies in simplifying complex financial matters, enabling my clients to confidently prioritise their goals and build a secure future.
Beyond my professional life, I enjoy an active and fulfilling personal lifestyle. Running has been a big part of my journey, including completing two marathons, which taught me the importance of persistence and setting ambitious goals - values I bring to my financial advising. Living in Cornwall near the beach provides endless inspiration, especially through my love for the ocean and the tranquillity it offers.
My family - my wife and two wonderful boys are my anchor, and spending quality time with them is what keeps me grounded and motivated. In addition to my career, I’m passionate about giving back to the community, especially through charity fundraising initiatives that make a positive impact on the lives of others. I also have a deep love for travelling, embracing new cultures, and exploring the world, which broadens my perspective and enriches both my personal and professional life. This blend of professional expertise and personal values drives me to offer compassionate and dependable advice, ensuring my clients feel supported every step of the way.
