WHY CRYSTAL WEALTH MANAGEMENT?

We listen to you, as only through a clear understanding of your individual requirements can we help you develop a retirement strategy to meet your unique objectives.

OUR PROCESS - PRE RETIREMENT

After discussing your retirement objectives we will establish through a series of questions your tolerance to risk as well as any ethical stance you may have.

Should you have any existing Pension Plans we will establish their risk profile and review their continued suitability in line with your objectives. If further information is required on any of your existing arrangements we will obtain this on your behalf directly from the relevant institutions prior to conducting our research in line with your requirements.

In today’s employment market there is rarely a ‘job for life’, this can result in an accumulation of pension plans. We will help you trace these older and sometimes forgotten arrangements in order to enhance your retirement provisions.

Using our experience gained over many years, and a variety of sophisticated planning tools that are now available we will design a bespoke retirement portfolio to meet your needs.

A change in your circumstances or attitude to risk, market conditions and/or displacement of a fund manager are all factors that may necessitate a change to your retirement portfolio, therefore it is imperative that your Pension Plans are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure their continued suitability.

Products that we review and consider include –

Self Invested Personal Pensions (SIPP)
Personal Pension Plans (PPP)
Occupational (Company) Pension Plans
Group Pension Plans (GPP)
Stakeholder Pension Plans
Contracting Out Arrangements (APP)
