What are retirement options?
As you approach retirement, your pension provider will begin to contact you regularly. You will be presented with a myriad of options, and if you ‘do nothing’ you could be putting your funds at risk. In some cases, pension investment strategies are automated, this is called lifestyling and isn’t always appropriate.
When you retire, your pension needs to be adjusted from the ‘savings and accumulation stage’ to generating your retirement income.
At retirement, you will be offered the option to take a lump sum. This might be attractive, but will it affect your pension income? You must understand the options presented to you by your pension provider in order to make an informed decision.
