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.

Praveen's location

Purley
London
CR8
United Kingdom

Praveen is located in Purley and offers expert financial advice to suit your needs.

I came to the UK almost 25 years ago from India to work in the IT industry for financial services clients. As a family, while we had comfortable life style, we had no savings even in our early forties.

Then I lost my job due to redundancy.

At that point, I had no investments/ savings, no pension and no provision for replacing lost income. While I was lucky to find another job, this was a wake-up trigger for me to start thinking about financial independence for my family.

It is my mission to ensure that you do not suffer with the same handicap.

I now help individuals & company directors build their wealth, ensure their business is protected, plan for a comfortable retirement and pass on wealth to the next generation – in the most tax efficient ways possible.

In my free time, you can find me volunteering with Age UK, in a yoga class or on a tennis court. I live in outer London (Purely, Surrey) and advise clients in/ around London & Surrey
