How can you boost your pension pot?

In the UK, there are around 3.3 million pension pots that are considered as ‘lost’, containing an average of around £9,500 per pot*. Nobody wants to be missing out on money they have built up in a pension, 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. Investing can help your money grow over time, but the value of investments can go down as well as up.

If that sounds good to you, please get in touch.

Matt's location

Twickenham
London
United Kingdom

Matt is located in Twickenham and offers expert financial advice across Twickenham, Richmond and South West London.

My journey into financial planning was shaped by a career in stockbroking and investment management since 2006 across both Australia and the UK.

Having qualified as a financial adviser twice- in Australia and again in the UK, I am a Chartered Member of the CISI and hold a Level 6 qualification in Private Client Investment Advice and Management.

Why I do what I do

I moved into financial planning because I saw too many hardworking people, especially those in the higher and additional tax brackets, losing a huge portion of their hard-earned income to tax traps, struggle to make sense of financial markets and retiring into a highly complex pension system.

I believe good advice isn't just about picking the right products, and ticking boxes, but providing a highly personalised service through a collaborative journey and a relationship based on trust. I aim to help you keep more of what you earn, invest well, gain clarity on the purpose of your money and have the confidence to know your family finances are secure.

Areas where I can lend a hand

  • RSU & Equity Comp Strategy: Helping you make sense of the 60% tax trap, NI impacts and diversification benefits at vesting
  • Retirement Planning: Turning years of hard work into a clear, tax-efficient plan for the future.
  • Investment Management: Providing institutional grade investment capability through Quilter's suite of products and services.
  • Strategy Foundations: Helping you visualise your wealth through cash flow modelling and stress testing your portfolio through all kinds of market conditions, ensuring your plan remains on track.
  • Protecting What’s Important: Ensuring your lifestyle, income and your family’s home are protected, no matter the weather.

Outside of work, I’m an Aussie expat with 2 children. We’ve found a great home here in Twickenham, and on the weekends, I’m usually found behind the BBQ, at the rugby ground, playing guitar, or on the hunt for good coffee.
