Episode Description
Part 2 of our UK pensions series, this episode covers everything you need to DO if you want to simplify your pensions without making expensive mistakes. You'll learn how to take stock of every pot, spot safeguarded benefits you should never move casually (like DB pensions and protected tax-free cash), and compare charges and platforms properly. We also break down transfer mechanics and the big decision: how simple you actually want your setup to be, while keeping your investment strategy and beneficiaries up to date. If you want a calmer, practical guide to pension consolidation in the UK, this is for you.
