The best course of action regarding your pension provision, will depend on your individual retirement planning. However, reviewing your options as soon as possible is likely to be the prudent course: yes, to wait and see what the Brexit impact on UK pensions is, might well be the right advice in the end, but upon reviewing your personal situation, goals and options with an experienced financial adviser, you may discover more cost-effective solutions.

How will Brexit affect pensions?

If you want to know how the relationship between Brexit and pension funds will change over time, or you’re curious to discover whether there might be an alternative solution better suited to your situation, you should empower yourself with knowledge and advice.

This means ensuring that you only receive guidance from a financial advisory firm that both understands the Brexit effect on pensions and has the relevant licensing and permissions to provide you with ongoing benefits, even once a transfer has taken place.

If you have any concerns about whether a firm might be right for you, you should speak to more than one independent financial advisor (IFA), and ask for references and testimonials from recent clients who have been through the pension planning process. EU licensed and regulated firms bring many kinds of reassurance, not least the fact that they offer certain protections in case anything should go wrong regarding Brexit and pensions.

If you’re worried about the Brexit effect on pensions, the best possible thing you can do is to get ahead and start putting processes in place, in case you need to make a change to your plan.
