Once you are aware of your pension benefits you can then start to put plans in place for your retirement. In most cases we have found there is usually a significant shortfall between someone’s current income and their projected income post retirement. So we have a number of solutions that allow you to bridge the gap between the two. These include 2nd pillar buy backs, optional 3rd pillar pensions and other forms of regular and lump sum investments.
