BLACKTOWER VIEW – Keith Littlewood in Murcia and Costa Cálida

New beginnings

Most commonly, Keith’s clients are new retirees who are between 60 and 65. Often Keith and his new clients sit down and discuss things over a glass of wine or a cup of coffee in the comfort of a home or café environment rather than in an office. After all, many of his clients are retirees who have just escaped offices and workplaces, what better than to enjoy your financial planning in a relaxed atmosphere.

Every new client relationship begins with a no-obligation conversation and this suits Keith just fine; he loves his job and he loves talking to people.

Keith’s clients all have one thing in common: they wish to get most out of their money so that they can enjoy their retirement to the greatest degree possible. As an international financial adviser and expat, Keith brings a uniquely informed perspective to help clients organise their investments and tax affairs.

As state pension systems slip, investment advice becomes paramount

Golden piggy bankWhen an expat is faced with the question of what to do with their pension, there are several options available to them. And it’s important to understand everything that could be beneficial for your pension pot because very few countries offer their citizens high standard pension systems, as shown by the latest Melbourne Mercer Global Pension Index, which ranks the pensions provided by the governments of 30 countries.

The good news is that the Index’s ranking had a few standouts. Near the top of the table, coming in at number two (beaten only by Denmark), was the Dutch system, which is great for any expats in the Netherlands who are eligible to receive the country’s state pension. If you’ve lived or worked in Netherlands, then you would have built up a Dutch state pension. The longer you have lived in the country, the larger your Dutch pension will be (you can combine it with a state pension accumulated in another EU and EEA member country).
