How to be ready for retirement or career transition
  • Saving for retirement: Start early, consistently contribute and regularly review your savings goals.
  • Preserving your pension: Understand your options, avoid early withdrawals, and stay informed on any plan changes.
  • Drawing a retirement income: Choose investments that provide steady income and consider strategies like staggered withdrawals or annuities to manage inflation and healthcare costs.
  • Withdrawing in emergencies: Maintain a separate emergency fund to handle unexpected expenses, which should always be accessed as a last resort.

The concept of retirement has evolved over time. Chances are you’ll live longer than expected, so a good retirement plan will ensure you’re covered for those extra years.

  • Risks you can afford to take, because the more time you have, the more aggressive your investment portfolio.
  • Risks you feel comfortable taking, because you need to consider how much loss you can handle emotionally and financially.

Whatever path you choose, a financial planner will assist in safeguarding your retirement income against longevity, tax and inflation. Your planner will help you to manage risks such as:
