YMC webinar: I’m young, why should I care about my pension? A guide for young professionals

Join the award-winning financial planner Natasha Percy-Baxter Dip PFS to learn why pensions are essential for young professionals and how to navigate pension programmes to set you on a path to long-term financial stability. Hear about the different types of pensions and the standard benefits companies in our industry provide so you can benchmark your pension package against the market norm.

The webinar will provide insight into the differences between pension types, how defined contribution schemes in the UK are structured and the standard benefits many companies in the industry provide. In the long term, this allows young professionals to benchmark their pension packages against what is contractually standard across the market.

Natasha will also convey how to structure your contributions, and what young professionals should be looking for in their packages when joining a new role – as well as in their existing roles - to encourage active participation in their pensions programmes. This would entail how to aggregate pension pots when moving role, how increasing or decreasing your personal contribution could impact your pension pot and common pitfalls to avoid.

This discussion will help young professionals actively participate in their financial future and build their financial literacy.

Learning objectives:

• How to take an active role in maximising your pension benefits
• The benefits of navigating the pension environment early in your career
• The risks of not engaging with pensions until later in life

An interactive Q&A session will follow the discussion - please feel free to submit any questions in advance when you book online.
