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
I am a financial planner with a specialist interest in making financial services more accessible to investors of all ages.
I want more people to feel empowered by their finances, rather than confused by them. I believe strongly that a well-structured financial plan can support wider lifetime goals and ambitions, and I spend time getting to know clients before making any recommendations, in order to understand their aims and objectives.
With a strong focus on financial advice for women, I understand the financial gaps and life events that disproportionately affect women - from career breaks and caring responsibilities to juggling multiple roles and longer life expectancy. My advice is tailored to real life, not just spreadsheets.
I am also known for debunking financial myths and making complex topics easier to understand. Clients say they appreciate my ability to explain pensions, ISAs, investment portfolios, and protection planning in clear, simple language.
Away from my desk, I love spending time with my (rapidly growing) children and husband, writing fiction, and making endless attempts to return to running.
