How your savings are invested matters

When we help clients to release money from their pension, we invest the remainder of their savings in a modern, tailored portfolio. And over the past 20 years our portfolios have consistently beaten the industry benchmark. This is important because how these investments perform has a significant impact on the size of our clients’ pension pots later in life.

Average tracker return.

Important: pension savings can go down as well as up. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Taking pension money early isn’t right for everyone because it could leave you with less to live on in retirement. That’s why it makes sense to talk with a regulated adviser, such as Portafina, first.
