How do pensions work?

In the UK, a private pension operates as a long-term savings vehicle designed to provide individuals with a source of income during retirement, supplementing the state pension. There are two main types of private pensions: defined contribution (DC) and defined benefit (DB) pensions.

For defined contribution pensions, individuals and/or their employers contribute money into an investment fund. These contributions are invested in various financial assets, such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, with the goal of generating growth over time. The final pension amount is determined by the performance of these investments and the contributions made. Upon retirement, the accumulated fund can be used to purchase an annuity (providing a regular income for life) or be withdrawn as a lump sum, subject to certain tax regulations.

Defined benefit pensions, on the other hand, promise a specific income based on factors like salary and years of service. Employers are responsible for managing these pensions and ensuring that the promised benefits are available upon retirement. The amount received is usually calculated using a formula that considers these factors.

Pension tracing
A process that helps individuals locate and consolidate their old pension schemes from previous employers or personal arrangements. This is important because people often accumulate multiple pension accounts over their working lives, and keeping track of them can be challenging. Tracing helps individuals manage their retirement savings more effectively and make informed decisions about their pension funds.

Product key benefits

Long-Term Savings

Pensions provide a disciplined and structured way to save for retirement over an individual's working life. Regular contributions and potential employer contributions accumulate and grow through investments, building a substantial fund to support retirement needs.

Tax Advantages

Pensions often offer tax benefits such as tax relief on contributions, allowing individuals to invest more efficiently for retirement. Additionally, the growth within the pension fund is typically tax-free, providing potential for significant compounding over time.

Financial Security in Retirement

Pensions ensure a stable income stream during retirement, helping individuals maintain their lifestyle and cover living expenses when they are no longer earning a regular salary. This financial security provides peace of mind and reduces the risk of outliving one's savings.

Because we play by the book we want to tell you that...

1. We understand equity release isn’t for everyone, and we’ll never say it’s the right option for you, that’s why we pass you onto an Expert.

2. A lifetime mortgage is a loan secured against your property. With a lifetime mortgage there are typically no monthly repayments to make as the loan, plus roll up interest, is repaid when the plan comes to an end. Usually, that’s when you, or the last remaining applicant, either passes away or moves into long-term care.

3. With a lifetime mortgage you’ll still retain full ownership of your home.

4. Equity release will reduce the value of your estate and may affect your entitlement to means tested benefits.

5. Mortgage Advice Bureau Later Life offer lifetime mortgage products from a carefully selected panel of providers.

6. Unless you decide to go ahead, Mortgage Advice Bureau Later Life’s service is completely free of charge as their fixed advice fee of £1,295 would only be payable in completion of a plan.
