Top 6 Simple Steps to Get Started
The “6-Step Pension Challenge” is a great framework—simple and practical³:
Check your current pension(s) – Know where your savings are.
Track down lost pots – There’s estimated to be over £26 billion in forgotten pensions!³
Take stock of all your pension holdings – Bringing everything together brings clarity.
Estimate what you’ll need in retirement – A bit of forward-planning saves a lot of stress later.
Assess the gap—and your options – Think, “Can I do more now?”
Update your nominees/beneficiaries – Make sure your wishes are known and your loved ones protected.
