Complete flexibility at low cost

Deciding how to take your pension benefits is one of the most important financial decisions you will have to make.

When you retire, choosing income drawdown allows you to draw a variable income directly from your pension whenever you wish whilst the funds remain invested.

Instead of handing your pension to an insurance company in return for the secure income of an annuity, income drawdown is a more flexible but riskier alternative where you keep full control and choose where your funds are invested.

With drawdown your income is not secure, therefore many clients mix and match. They choose an annuity to cover their essential living costs and leave the remainder in income drawdown to benefit from the flexibility.

So far I have found your service to be faultless in marked contrast to my last trustee. I particularly like your website which I find to be clear and easy to use after a little familiarisation. I also like the vastly greater range of funds available for investment and the ease and speed of making trades.
