Retirement planning is about more than being tax efficient

How coherent is your retirement strategy? It is common for high net worth individuals to have built up a number of pension investments. While there is nothing inherently wrong with that, it can mean that the approach is disjointed and the asset allocation skewed.

On the other hand, you may be someone who does not have a pension per se but has ‘nest eggs’, which could be in the form of property, among other asset classes.

Regardless of which group you fall into, we will help you maximise the tax efficiencies available from investing for retirement and create a coherent strategy that takes your risk tolerance, years to retirement and specific preferences into account. 

If you are an experienced investor, we can introduce you to and guide you through a self-administered pension and other pension structures.
