There comes a time when your mind will turn to taking pension benefits. But the options available to you are many and complex. Everyone’s needs will be different and your best option is to seek the proper advice.
There are a number of advisers who can give you advice on retirement options, and you may find another service that you prefer. Hanson have provided access to the Hargreaves Lansdowne webinar and its services, but this does not mean that you cannot choose to use (and pay for, if required) a different service, or that either Hanson or the trustees are suggesting that you may not find another service that suits you better. You should also be aware of the Pensions Advisory Service, which is a government-funded free information service and is at pensionsadvisoryservice.org.uk.
To help you understand the options available well before retirement and also when you are closer to taking benefits, Hargreaves Lansdown have produced slide packs to assist you.
