Pension Flexibility

Speaker: Paul Duckworth FPFS

Pension flexibility is a hot topic at the moment, enabling greater flexibility as individuals are able to access their pension savings from age 55 due to new government legislation.

Paul will review the latest regulations and discuss how the changes will affect your clients by reviewing a detailed case study in this one-hour session.

Who should attend? All financial advisors and planners who wish to develop their knowledge and understanding of pension flexibility.

• how those changes will impact on those individuals who are in or move into capped drawdown before 6th April 2015 and what their options will be
• the restrictions that will apply to people who take flexible pension benefits but who still wish to pay pension contributions
• the changes that have occurred to the taxation of lump sum death benefits paid under pension plans and look at the planning options that arise and
