Rockwood Case Study
Mr Draw Down, 59
The Scenario
My 60th birthday was nearing and I was starting to worry about my future income. Over my career I had a built up a number of pensions and wondered how to manage them. Should I consolidate them? Would I be able to maintain the same standard of living in retirement? I didn’t feel I knew enough about the available options and wanted some expert advice.
The Solution
I met with a Rockwood adviser and discussed my situation over coffee. I was really impressed with the way they took a holistic approach to my finances and considered my future requirements as well as my current standard of living. They also looked at my partner’s financial situation in order to ensure we took the best approach. They proposed I take a lump sum from my pension and then draw down on it going forward. This allows me to have an income whilst preserving the capital.
The Result
I’m ecstatic. It was the exact type of guidance that I needed and Rockwood’s holistic approach to finances was so refreshing! With everything in place, I can now enjoy a few years of well-earned comfort and a few more holidays. Lovely!
