How can you boost your pension pot?

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.

Here are three simple ways to make sure your pension is working its hardest for you.

1. Check up on it

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.

2. Look at your investment allocation

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.

3. Bump it up

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.

Having had a lifetime of bad events thrust upon me before I was 27 years old, I have first hand experience knowing that every financial situation is different, and each family has complex needs. However, with the right advice and support, ‘bad’ life events don’t have to turn your life upside-down. This is why I advocate so strongly for holistic and well-rounded advice for your whole family.

I work with my clients to ensure they feel financially secure as well as financially ambitious - it is my job to help you build wealth for yourself, your children, and even grandchildren without sacrificing on a lifestyle you have built and love. Whilst I work with detailed calculations, I like to focus on the personal impacts and stories behind the numbers when working with my clients so they can truly envision and build their dream life.

Sometimes it is hard to seek financial support if you feel you may be judged or not supported as well as you need. As your adviser I will always ensure that you feel heard and supported and that my advice meets all of your needs, no matter how weird or wonderful you may think they are.
