Pension Drawdown Services

At Simply Retirement we offer two levels of service for Pension Drawdown. We can provide you with a Full Advice Service offering a personal recommendation. We will need to understand your personal and financial circumstances and discuss your objectives and priorities so that we can provide you with advice about a suitable retirement solution, researching the whole market. As you would expect this service comes at a greater cost.

The alternative service provides consumers access to Pension Drawdown and is designed for those people who understand and know what they want. We are able to offer this at a very cheap cost. Having compared the whole market we have identified several Pension Drawdown providers and offer a select panel to choose from. This is a Non-Advised service where you are provided information to make your own choice.
