Ask Adam: a pension comprehension intervention

from The Paraplanners' Assembly Podcast

We all have pension questions we’ve never quite got round to asking. Maybe the moment wasn’t right. Maybe the right expertise wasn’t around. Maybe you just didn’t want to be the one to ask. That’s why in this Assembly, we staged a pension intervention. Because host Richard Allum posed the most pressing pension-related questions to someone who just loves answering them: Quilter’s retirement and pension technical specialist, Adam Cole. Over one lunch hour, we worked our way through pension topics that either crop up regularly in client cases or maybe just leave you scratching your head from time to time. Things like: Transitional tax-free cash, lump sum allowances and lump sum death benefit allowances Taking tax-free cash after 75 and the implications Taking protected tax-free cash and moving into drawdown How defined benefit pensions work Guaranteed annuity rates, guaranteed cash sums and other features of older-style contracts What can you expect to take away?
