Your pension is a key part of your financial future
Understanding your pension options can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. We're here to make it simple and stress-free.
When you reach retirement age, you’ve got choices about how to use the money you've saved in your pension. Knowing the differences—and what’s best for you—is key to making the most of it.
Understanding some of your options:
- Leave it invested
You don’t have to take your pension right away. You can keep it where it is, giving it a chance to grow. - Take a lump sum
You can take up to 25% of your pension pot tax-free. You might choose to take it all at once or in chunks. - Drawdown
Keep your pension invested and take money out as and when you need it— offers flexibility with some risk. - Annuity
Exchange your pension for a guaranteed income for life by buying an annuity. It’s peace of mind with less flexibility. - Mix and match
Combine different options to suit your lifestyle and financial needs.
