Retirement advice from abrdn

Whether you’re already retired or are thinking about retiring soon, our financial experts can help you make the right financial decisions at the right time.

Together, we can:

develop a plan for those big retirement decisions – such as, when to retire, how to fund big purchases and how to take your pension
determine how much income you’ll be able to take each year, while aiming to make sure your savings last as long as you need them to
make sure your money is invested the right way, and your investments remain on track and in line with your retirement goals
help you to tax-efficiently pass on your wealth to your loved ones in the way you’d want

The value of your investments can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you paid in.

Tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each investor and may be subject to change in the future.
