Planning for Retirement

Retirement is one of the most important aspects of anyone’s life. Setting aside enough when we are working, to ensure we have enough to support us when we are retired, should be a key objective in life. With state pensions and work-based pension schemes (final salary pensions) in decline, the onus for planning a financially secure retirement now rests firmly with the individual.

There are seven key issues to consider when planning for your retirement:

    1. Time – the longer you save the bigger pension fund you can build up.
    2. Set a target – how much income might you need in retirement?
    3. Contributions – set a level that is adequate to reach your target income.
    4. Risk – what level of investment risk are you comfortable with?
    5. Access – are you comfortable locking the money away until retirement?
    6. Which product – stakeholder pensions, personal pensions, SIPPs, ISAs or even Venture Capital Trusts?
    7. Regular monitoring.
