Planning for your retirement needs serious consideration and financial planning, this should not be left until the last minute.<\/p>\n
The financial decisions you make when planning for your retirement will be in place for the rest of your life this could be up to thirty to forty years, in some cases even longer.<\/p>\n
When planning for your retirement, you will need to consider the following factors.<\/p>\n
Factors such as your investment portfolio need to be reviewed, depending upon the retirement income and products you wish to use.<\/p>\n
Pension annuities provide a guaranteed income for life; however, this is not as straightforward as it seems.<\/p>\n
You will need to decide if you wish for your retirement income to increase each year and if you would like it to be payable to a dependant in the event of your death. If you would like this to happen then there could be a reduction in the level of income you would receive.<\/p>\n
When looking to purchase an annuity, your choices will impact the level of income that you will receive.<\/p>\n
Annuities can be underwritten based on your health (enhanced annuities) and you should always compare your annuity offer to the open market to maximize the level of income you may receive.<\/p>\n
If an annuity is appropriate for you it is generally advisable that you should reduce the investment risk within your portfolio as you approach retirement. This will negate large investment fluctuations as you draw near to retirement.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
As annuity rates are near all-time lows, many of our clients prefer to leave their capital invested and draw a regular income from it, this is known as drawdown. Drawdown enables you to retain flexibility over your pension options and allows you to delay purchasing an annuity until you feel that an annuity provides value for money, should you wish to purchase one at all.<\/p>\n
The drawback to having more flexibility with your Pension over an Annuity is that your Pension fund remains invested. This means that if investment returns are poor or there is a substantial fall in the value of your investments, then there is the chance that your retirement fund could deplete prior to your life expectancy.<\/p>\n
At Howard Wright, we provide a range of risk-focused actively managed investment portfolios designed to assist our clients to achieve their income objectives in retirement. If drawdown is suitable for you, then there is usually no need to reduce the level of investment risk you are taking prior to your retirement. Further considerations may need to be made if you intend to withdraw a tax-free cash lump sum.<\/p>\n
Your existing investment arrangements also need to be reviewed to ensure that they offer drawdown if this is to be an option to be considered.<\/p>\n
At Howard Wright, we have developed our very own retirement options report, this covers all of the above issues in detail with illustrations bespoke to your personal circumstances. One of our Chartered Advisers will then recommend and implement a suitable product or range of products, targeted to meet your retirement objectives.<\/p>\n
The value of investments and the income derived from them can fall as well as rise. You may not get back what you invest.<\/p>\n

Some Clients find that their need for protection<\/a> <\/strong>policies are no longer needed in retirement but for some this is not the case.

For example, a Mortgage of \u00a3150,000 would result in a fee of \u00a3450 from the lender. The costs will be confirmed to you before any business is transacted.<\/p>\n Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.<\/p>\n Equity release is a product which allows individuals to unlock some of the equity within their property, usually to assist with covering expenditure shortfalls in retirement.<\/p>\n Usually no monthly payments are required, though interest will increase the outstanding debt each year. Both retirement interest only and equity release mortgages are usually repaid when you sell your property, move into long term care or pass away.<\/p>\n We have advisers who are fully qualified to help you in deciding whether these mortgages are appropriate for you and if so, we have the sourcing systems in place to recommend the most suitable product.<\/p>\n Howard Wright charge a fixed fee of \u00a33,000 for Equity Release advice. <\/p>\n Retirement interest only mortgages, allow you to keep your interest only mortgage into retirement as long as you can afford the monthly payments.<\/p>\n Your circumstances may mean that you have not been able to clear debt prior to retiring and as such these can provide valuable breathing space, without having to sell your home.<\/p>\n Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ prev_background_color=”#ffffff” admin_label=”Listings” module_id=”ourservices” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#f4f4f4″ custom_padding=”76px||0px||false|false” top_divider_style=”ramp2″ top_divider_height=”136px” bottom_divider_flip=”horizontal” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ module_id=”estate” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”60px|0px|0|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ text_font=”Montserrat|300|||||||” text_text_color=”#444444″ text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”2em” header_font=”||||||||” header_text_color=”#0c0c0c” header_2_font=”Montserrat|300|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#636363″ header_2_font_size=”50px” header_2_line_height=”1.5em” header_3_font=”||||||||” header_3_text_color=”#00a0e3″ header_5_font=”Oswald|||on|||||” header_5_text_color=”#000000″ header_5_font_size=”20px” header_5_letter_spacing=”3px” header_5_line_height=”1.7em” background_layout=”dark” max_width=”800%” module_alignment=”center” animation_style=”fade” text_line_height_last_edited=”off|desktop” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”36px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In retirement, estate planning<\/a><\/strong> is usually concerned with ensuring that your assets on death are paid to the individuals that you wish to inherit your assets or take steps to minimise your inheritance tax liability.<\/p>\n A Will is the recommended starting point for most of our clients, who incorrectly believe that their spouse or next of kin will automatically inherit the whole of their estate in the event of their death. As part of your plan we review any existing Wills that you have in place or recommend alteration and amendments. If a new Will is required our team of fully qualified Will writers are here to help you.<\/p>\n In the majority of cases inheritance tax can been seen as voluntary tax, our inheritance tax options report provides a review of all the options available to legally minimise your inheritance tax liability.
