Continue to KinVault About Pensions & Retirement
Planning for retirement is essential to ensure a comfortable and secure financial future. In the UK, there are several types of pension schemes available, depending on your employment status and personal circumstances.
Personal pensions and self-invested personal pensions (SIPPs) are available to individuals who are self-employed, not enrolled in an occupational pension scheme or simply want to save more for their retirement along side other schemes. These schemes offer tax benefits and flexible investment options, allowing you to choose where your money is invested.
Occupational pensions are employer-sponsored schemes that provide retirement benefits to employees. There are two types of occupational pensions: defined contribution (DC) and defined benefit (DB). DC pensions are based on the amount you and your employer contribute, as well as investment performance. DB pensions, on the other hand, provide a guaranteed income in retirement, based on factors such as salary and years of service.
Group pensions are occupational pension schemes that are offered to a group of employees by an employer. These schemes can be DC or DB and may offer additional benefits such as life insurance or income protection.
When choosing a pension scheme, it's important to consider your retirement goals, risk tolerance, and investment preferences.
In summary, there are various types of pension schemes available in the UK, including personal pensions, SIPPs, occupational pensions, and group pensions. DC pensions are based on contributions and investment performance, while DB pensions provide a guaranteed income. Choosing the right pension scheme is crucial to ensure a secure and comfortable retirement.

Peter and Molly were amazing. We had so much stress with people not getting back to us and they well and truly fought our corner. They both had a fantastic knowledge base and were accommodating for us both working full time. Most importantly they were customer focused. They understood our needs and as first time buyers they supported us throughout. We would highly recommend Pete and Molly to anyone and we have already referred a family friend to their services. If you want customer cantered support with timely responses and an excellent knowledge base, then Stalworth is the financial advisor for you. - August 2023 (Cannock)

We had recently been pointed in the direction of Pete and Molly, by a family member who had an amazing outcome with the help of Pete and Molly, so we decided to go for it. Being new to the world of buying our first and hopefully forever home, we had no idea about the process and how it all works. However with Pete and Molly as our financial adviser, anything was possible. They had so much patience with us from start to finish. Especially as we live apart due to work commitments, this was not an issue to arrange meetings through zoom/teams, which made things so much easier for ourselves. They were extremely knowledgeable and provided us with personalized recommendations that fit our specific financial goals, even made sure we had wiggle room to still enjoy life and get the home we wanted that we did not think we could reach. Their attention to detail and exceptional customer service made the entire process a breeze. We would highly recommend their services. - August 2023 (Shropshire)

We cannot thank Pete and Molly enough. As first time buyers we were naturally clueless and stressed. They both worked together so well to explain everything to us before being there for us literally every step of the way. When the interest rates dropped slightly, Pete even went out of his way to apply for this new mortgage offer as it was in our best interest, and that sums them both up! Going out of their way to do what is best for us as individuals. They were always contactable and you never have to wait long for a response. We now own our first home and will be forever grateful, thankyou - April 2023 (Cannock)

We used Pete for the mortgage on our new house. Pete was professional, attentive and went above and beyond to meet our needs. Especially as our work commitments often meant we were only available late evenings or weekends, this was never a problem for Pete. I would highly recommend Pete and will be using him in the future for our remortgage - June 2021 (Staffordshire)

Peter helped us achieve our first mortgage. He has a superb knowledge of the subject, an excellent work ethic to go away and research our individual circumstances and showed very fast turn around times. His communication with the estate agents and solicitors is fantastic. Very refreshing to have someone like Pete oversee our whole process. Definitely recommend! - January 2022 (Cannock)
