Provider fees can be hampering your pension

Pension provider fees can make a significant difference in the amount of money you can enjoy in retirement. The difference between 2% and 0.5% may look small. Still, in terms of impact on your pension funds, it could be the difference between a comfortable or a challenging retirement.

Our pension fee calculator can show you the vast differences pension provider fees can make over time on your pension. Enter your current pension value, your age and the age at you wish to retire, and see the difference fees can make.

Should you have any queries about our services, or if you can’t find what you’re looking for simply get in touch with our friendly team who are here to answer any questions you might have.

Consolidating your pensions from different employers is run in the same format as a regular pension consolidation service. It’s generally not recommended to combine out of your current workplace pension, but in some cases, you can combine and transfer your other funds into your current workplace pension. Please speak with our team to find out all of your options.

Retirement Income Planning is the process of assessing how much income you will need in retirement and then making decisions and actions on how to achieve the targeted income. Your financial adviser will work with you to make a detailed retirement plan to help achieve your goals.

To combine your pensions, a financial adviser will need your authority to speak with your pension providers and then your authority to act on your behalf to transfer your pensions into the recommended product.

By initially giving the financial adviser the power to speak with your providers (Letter of Authority) the financial adviser will request the relevant information they need to make any recommendations on if consolidation is right for you, where to combine and potentially transfer your pensions.

For the full process of combining your pensions, please speak with our team.

A 25% Tax-free lump sum is calculated on the total value of your defined contribution pensions, rather than specific to each policy. The advisers at Hilltop will be able to give you guidance on your options.

Tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject to change in future.

Capital at Risk.

Depending on your current pensions, you could lose money when combining your pensions, if they have exit fees included or any guaranteed rates included. By speaking with our advisers, they can check to see if any of your current pensions have any clauses attached and help you to make the right choices about pension consolidation. If we don’t think that pension consolidation is in your best financial interests, we will tell you that too.

Capital at Risk.

There are several ways of consolidating your pensions. But, we believe the best way to consolidate them and to ensure you’re getting the best pension policy for your circumstances is to speak to our team.

We will quickly assess your current pensions and offer advice and recommendations on where to consolidate your funds. The advice we give is always in your best financial interests, and by speaking with us, we can take some of the decision processes from you and guide you to a more suitable pension, rather than a fit for all pension you may see online.

Capital at Risk.

Combining your pensions could have many benefits. Putting your pensions into one policy can help you to keep track on the value of your funds, quickly see the performance of your fund and also you could benefit from lower management charges than having multiple pensions.

With all your funds in one place, you could furthermore reduce the chance of losing track or forgetting about that smaller pension pot that you accrued with an old employer. Pension consolidation isn’t for everyone, though, so please speak with one of our advisers before moving your pensions.

Capital at Risk

You could drawdown from a personal pension from your 55th birthday. In some circumstances i.e. ill health, your pension provider may allow you to take money from your pension, but this is at their discretion.
