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.

Tom is located in Buckinghamshire and offers expert financial advice to suit your needs.

With over 20 years of experience in the financial services industry, I have developed deep expertise across pensions, investments, succession planning, and tax mitigation. I support clients at every stage of their wealth journey — whether they are accumulating and growing assets, transitioning into retirement, generating sustainable income, or planning for the efficient transfer of wealth to the next generation.

My primary focus has always been delivering exceptional, client-centred outcomes. I take the time to fully understand each individual’s goals, circumstances, and priorities before crafting bespoke strategies. This might include optimising pension arrangements, building diversified investment portfolios, implementing effective succession plans, or employing legitimate tax mitigation opportunities to maximise what clients keep and pass on.

I firmly believe that successful financial planning is built on trust and long-term relationships. By maintaining close, ongoing dialogue with clients, I ensure my advice remains relevant as their lives and objectives evolve. This collaborative, tailored approach consistently helps clients feel confident and in control, enabling them to make informed decisions that align with their values and aspirations.

Outside of work, I’m a proud father to two wonderful daughters. Family is at the heart of everything I do, which is why I’m particularly passionate about helping clients create strong financial legacies for their own loved ones. When I’m not spending time with my family, you’ll usually find me on the golf course or exploring the peaceful Chiltern Hills countryside with my dog.
