We wrote this guide to give you useful information about financial planning, but it's not personal advice. This is a complex area so please take advice if you’re unsure. If you choose to invest, just remember that all investments can go down as well as up in value, so you could get back less than you put in. You can’t normally access money in a pension until age 55 (57 from 2028). Pension and tax rules can change, and any benefits depend on your circumstances.
