An adviser’s insight
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.

More about me
Today, I work with a wide range of clients from individuals to business owners and large PLCs, helping them make confident, informed decisions about their financial futures.
Here’s how I support my clients: Retirement planning - I help clients visualise and achieve their ideal retirement by building a retirement planning strategy which is tailored to your investment preferences and goals. Whether you’re approaching retirement or planning decades ahead, I ensure your plan evolves with you.
Investment advice - I construct and review portfolios that align with your risk profile, responsible investment preferences, and long-term objectives. I provide clear guidance on how your investments can work harder for you.
Tax planning and efficiency - I advise on structuring your assets to minimise tax liabilities across income, capital gains, and inheritance tax. This includes optimising pension contributions, ISA allowances, and exploring more advanced solutions like investment bonds and trusts where appropriate.
Wealth protection and estate planning - I support clients in safeguarding their wealth through tailored protection strategies, including life cover, critical illness, and income protection. I also help navigate inheritance tax planning to ensure your legacy is passed on efficiently and in line with your wishes.
Ongoing reviews and support - Financial planning isn’t a one-off event. I provide regular progress checks and proactive updates to keep your strategy aligned with changing legislation, market conditions, and personal circumstances — ensuring your plan remains on track and fit for purpose. My advice can be delivered in person, or 100% remotely with meetings held by ‘Microsoft Teams’ or ‘Zoom’.
