Pension Awareness Week takes place from 11th to 17th September 2023. This annual campaign serves as a valuable opportunity to highlight the importance of understanding and optimising your pension benefits. EBCam are encouraging people to log into their workplace pension, explore their own pension scheme and consider the following questions…
- How much have I saved in my pension? What’s it worth?
- What am I and the company saving into my pension? Is this enough?
- Where is it invested? What are my investment options?
- Am I happy with my target retirement age or should I change this?
- Have I completed my expression of wish form to nominate my beneficiaries in the event of my death, if not I can complete this via the pension portal?
- What other old pensions do I have? Do I understand these and have up to date information?
EBCam recommends checking out the Pensions Awareness website https://pensionawarenessday.com/. Here you can book a live pension show on lots and lots of topics such as… ‘How do pensions work’… ‘understanding the New State Pension’… to ‘How prepared for retirement are you?’ These free webinars are hosted by impartial experts to help educate and provide guidance to help you get to grips with your pension and ensure that you’re on the right track towards a secure your financial future.
