Approaching retirement

Whether it’s hitting a milestone birthday or receiving a pension statement, there will come a time when thoughts turn to how and when you can retire.

Can you afford to retire when you want to?

For many people, their main concern is whether they will have enough money for the lifestyle they want in retirement. For some, they have had enough of the treadmill and want to know if they can retire before the traditional age of 65.

Once we understand the type of lifestyle you want to have, we can arrange your finances to help you achieve the wealth you need to retire at the age you want. We’ll spend time getting to know you and your goals for retirement. Then we’ll create a holistic financial plan which will set you on the right course to achieve them.

We can help you

  • Achieve the retirement you want to have whilst enjoying the wealth you have today.
  • Simplify your various pensions and invest them to achieve your retirement goals.
  • Give a helping hand to your children – perhaps with education fees or getting onto the property ladder.
  • Achieve your dreams of owning a second home, or a trip of a lifetime.
  • Put the right insurance in place to look after your family should you become ill or die.

Mr Laney

John has a very strong ability to explain complex financial matters in a simple and concise way, without watering down the key points of detail. This is important when I am making decisions about my financial future.

Mr J Barker

Since being a client of PFM, I have been really impressed with the level of personal service and advice I have also received. Pensions and tax are a minefield of complexity to the uninformed and PFM have brought great clarity and I have learned much from Christian's advice, all provided with a very friendly and clear approach.

Mrs Drysdale

PFM have been our Independent Financial Advisers for many years. We like the fact that each adviser has their own area of expertise, so clients have access to a wide knowledge base. We feel confident that our money is well-managed and highly recommend PFM.

Mr R C Brady

I was introduced to PFM by a family member about 12 years ago, in order to obtain personal pension planning advice. I have been very pleased with the advice given by my adviser, for my pensions and for wealth management. I have no hesitation in recommending PFM.

Mr John Dinley

Christian is only my second ‘adviser’ in 30 years of professional financial advice and I feel that I could not have acquired a better one; he listens carefully, is always empathetic to my concerns and requests.
I totally trust his judgement and considered advice which has always been balanced and very rewarding.
