Planning for a Longer Life. Wellbeing Tips and Financial Management Strategies

As life expectancy rises, planning for a longer, healthier future has never been more important. While people living longer is always good news, it could also bring new challenges for your employees' health and, crucially, their finances. Our guide, Planning for a Longer Life: Wellbeing Tips and Financial Management Strategies, explores how your employees could help take care of both their physical health and financial security in later life. It covers important topics such as maintaining wellbeing during retirement and managing income and care costs. Whether they are in the early stages of retirement planning or near retirement, this guide provides practical insights to help employees make better informed decisions for the future. This guide is for general information only and does not constitute advice. The information is aimed at retail clients only. All information is correct at the time of writing and is subject to change in the future.

A pension is a long-term investment not normally accessible until 55 (57 from April 2028). The fund value may fluctuate and can go down, which would have an impact on the level of pension benefits available. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. The value of your investments (and any income from them) can go down as well as up and you may not get back the full amount you invested. Note that life insurance plans typically have no cash in value at any time and cover will cease at the end of the term. If premiums stop, then cover will lapse. Remember that taper relief only applies to gifts in excess of the nil-rate band. It follows that, if no tax is payable on the transfer because it does not exceed the nil-rate band (after cumulation), there can be no relief. Accessing pension benefits early may impact on levels of retirement income and your entitlement to certain means tested benefits. You should seek advice to understand your

On page 10, we explore the key steps your employees could take to get their financial plan in order, from setting clear goals and building an emergency fund to optimising their investment and tax strategies. With a practical and proactive approach, your employees can help bring structure to their financial decisions, build resilience against uncertainty, and create a plan that reflects their long-term aspirations.

A pension is a long term investment. The fund value may fluctuate and can go down, which would have an impact on the level of pension benefits available. Pension income could also be affected by interest rates at the time benefits are taken.

Pension savings are at risk of being eroded by inflation.

The tax treatment of pensions in general and tax implications of pension withdrawals will be based on individual circumstances, tax legislation and regulation, which are subject to change in the future.
