Forgotten pensions could cost you a better retirement

Could you have money tucked away in Pensions you’ve forgotten about? The likelihood could be greater than you think, as people now have an average of 11 different jobs in their lifetime. It is estimated by 2050 there’ll be about £750 billion in dormant Pensions. That’s a lot of money being held in inactive pots and if you don’t know how many pensions you have or how they are performing, how will you know what type of retirement pot you could have?

Having multiple pensions makes it hard to keep track of your process towards retirement, monitor the fees you’re paying to multiple pots and track how each is performing. You may already have dormant pots from previous employers which you can start to take control of by consolidating these into one to protect these accounts from underperforming and racking up fees that could minimise your overall retirement pot. 

Finding your lost pensions

The first thing to think about is personal responsibility, the only way to know where your Pensions are, is to take a pro-active attitude. That means regular tracking and knowing where your money is invested.

We often lose track of our pensions when we change jobs or house and forget to update our personal details. If you don’t know the details of your previous schemes, you can contact your old employers or the Pension Tracing Service to find details of your providers.

When it comes to transferring, the more information you have the better, but don’t worry if you don’t, our dedicated team can help you find it.
