Retirement services and pension advice

Our retirement specialists are able to provide both guidance and advice around your retirement options. If you are looking to access your pension for drawdown or tax-free cash we can help. We can help whether you already have a Fidelity SIPP or are looking to move your pension to us.

Important information - investment values and income from investments can go down as well as up, so you may get back less than you invest. SIPP eligibility and tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and tax rules may change. Withdrawals from a SIPP are not normally possible until you reach age 55 (57 from 2028). Before transferring a pension, compare all the benefits, charges and features and always seek financial advice if you're unsure.
