The pension can't wait

Article Abstract:

Those who are planning for retirement and have surplus money available after making some savings and possibly contributing to a permanent health insurance scheme should look at making Additional Voluntary Contributions to their pension scheme. It is important to ensure that you are obtaining as much interest as possible on the money you save, and it is worth considering the Prudential Egg Instant Access Account, which currently pays 8% gross (annual interest) on balances of 1 pound sterling or more.

'Don't join company pension schemes without advice.' (Marcella Speller, marketing director of Internet Holiday Rentals)(Interview)

Article Abstract:

Neglecting pension plans can have serious consequences, according to Marcella Speller, marketing director of Internet Holiday Rentals. She had many different jobs in her 20s and 30s, when personal pensions were not really available, and did not stay in any job long enough to really gain any benefits from a company pension scheme. It is vital to take out a pension plan which suits individual requirements and to do so at an early stage in a career.

Pensions for latecomers

Article Abstract:

It is possible to save effectively for retirement even if only a few years are left in which to do so. Personal pensions are an attractive option, as they offer tax relief, but may not give much control over the actual point of retirement. Other types of investment are not so tax efficient, but they do have the advantage of allowing access to capital for considerably lower penalties.
