Firstly, if you are starting your journey towards retirement, they can help you to start investing in a pension aligned t your attitudes to risk.
Secondly, if you have multiple pensions and are looking to consolidate them, a pension adviser will walk you through the steps, and the process of consolidating your pensions into one plan.

These are just a few examples of where an experienced pension adviser will support you best.

There are various types of pensions. They are mainly categorised as defined benefit (please note we don’t deal with final salary pensions), defined contribution, and the state pension.
Defined contribution pensions are referred to as workplace pensions, private pensions, personal and stakeholder pensions.
There are also SIPPs – which are Self Invested Personal Pensions.

This is an important question for those looking to make significant investments toward their retirement without incurring taxes. It is also an important question for those with investable assets who may wish to explore other investment opportunities.
The pension Annual Allowance is the maximum amount that you, your employer, and any third party can contribute to your pension plans in a tax year.
