Ideal Standard’s workplace pension provider, Aviva, is offering retirement preparation reviews to help you decide if professional advice is right for you.
The 30-minute no obligation reviews are most beneficial to those over 50. There’s nothing to pay unless you decide to go ahead at the end of the session, and fees can normally come from your pension pot.
HR Director Mike Kelly said: “As people progress through their career there can be important decisions that need to be taken to help plan for eventual retirement.
“Although this can seem daunting and, for many, still a long way off, as we get within 15 years of the usual retirement age of 65 there are some changes that are made to the way in which pensions are invested.”
If you haven’t got all your pensions and investments with Aviva, they can still check over any of your financial arrangements, whoever your providers are. Their advisers can look at annuities from across the market, but other products and services they recommend will be from Aviva.
We recently shared some broader information on how to access the service that Aviva offers to help pension scheme members understand more about their pensions.
Members of the Ideal Standard scheme can access webinars on specific topic areas, providing valuable information to help you make decisions about your future (see image below).
Remember, the value of your pensions and investments can go down as well as up and you could get back less than has been paid in. If you want to book a retirement preparation review click here.
