From this guide:
Living in the 21st century has amplified the importance of financial planning for three main reasons;
- We are all living longer: to maintain a pre-tax income of £100,000 in retirement requires a pension pot well in excess of the current Lifetime Allowance.
- The tax environment is complex and continuously evolving: the political agenda of promoting entrepreneurship and saving increases the uncertainty in tax rules. Higher taxes erode income and capital without vigilant planning.
- We are in a low growth environment with no easy solutions: low cash returns and interconnected stock markets make it more difficult for you to grow your wealth.
This document has been designed to help support you in preparation for your retirement and provide an insight into investment. We begin by exploring some of the retirement and investment considerations you may already have in mind.
