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.

Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning

  • The Level 4 Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning from the Chartered Insurance Institute develops core technical and initial financial planning understanding.

I have over 10 years’ experience in financial services and wealth management, with a career spanning pension planning, paraplanning and financial planning. This has given me a strong understanding of both the technical detail behind financial advice and, importantly, the people and goals behind it.

I take a holistic approach to financial planning, helping clients with investments, retirement planning, protection, tax-efficient planning and estate planning. I believe the best advice starts with listening — understanding what matters to you, where you are today and what you want your financial future to look like.

My aim is to make financial planning clear and approachable, giving clients the confidence to make informed decisions and helping them stay on track as their circumstances and ambitions evolve.

I pride myself on building genuine, long-term relationships with clients and providing advice based on trust, integrity and a clear understanding of their individual needs.
