How will the government’s new rules affect your pension pot?

The UK government’s new pension rules mean that you now have several choices when it comes to what you can do with your pension in retirement. Generally, you can release funds, receive a guaranteed income, pass funds down through the generations, or opt for a mixture of all three approaches.

What you may not realise, however, is that not all pensions allow you to take full advantage of these new rules.

Contact Clear Financial Advice today and we’ll help you find a pension that’s truly fit for purpose.

The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate taxation advice.

  • Very helpful and took onboard my needs of reaching out to a Financial Adviser. He took time to listen and give feedback on what my possible options were. I am currently digesting the advice/feedback he gave and Paul has kindly offered to assist me with the subject matter we discussed in a future call. I am grateful for Paul's time and patience. A very switched on individual and talked to me in terminology that I understood - didn't blind me with science, which was the result I had wished for.
