Our advisors in Edinburgh offer a broad range of advice areas. This includes: pension, financial planning, investment, mortgage, estate planning and insurance. Without a doubt, the most common pension advice type in Edinburgh is the group personal pension scheme. Also known as a defined contribution scheme. This type of pension is very common in the offshore oil and gas industry. Furthermore, these schemes allow you to take around 25% of your pension as a tax-free lump sum after the age 55. Once you leave the scheme, the pension reverts to a personal pension plan. Above all, it is excellent time to review the pension to check that fees align with other personal pension schemes.
