Retirement services and pension advice
Our retirement specialists are able to provide both guidance and advice around your retirement options. If you are looking to access your pension for drawdown or tax-free cash we can help. We can help whether you already have a Fidelity SIPP or are looking to move your pension to us.
Important information - the value of investments, and income from them, can go down as well as up so you may not get back what you invest. Eligibility to invest in a SIPP and tax treatment depends on personal circumstances and all tax rules may change in the future. You cannot normally access money in a SIPP until age 55 (57 from 2028). It’s important to understand that pension transfers are a complex area and may not be suitable for everyone.
