Creating your perfect retirement

Retirement has changed dramatically over the years. No longer are people simply leaving a long, loyal employment at age 65 to put their feet up.

Previously, being a pensioner was associated with a slower pace of life. Today, retirees are creating lifestyles to suit themselves; setting up businesses, exploring new hobbies and travelling.

Of course, your aspirations will be different from the next person, and they are likely to change over time. But, research from Aviva found the top six things people were most looking forward to are:

1. Travelling

2. Taking up a new hobby or continuing with old ones

3. Supporting children and grandchildren financially

4. Buying a holiday home

5. Moving abroad

6. Starting a business

Your retirement may well be 10 or 20 years down the line. It’s not unusual to be concerned about striking a balance between living for today and planning for the future. Retirement presents a brand-new chapter in life, and, as with many big events, planning is key.

We have created this guide to help you plan your perfect retirement.

What do our clients have to say?

I’ve worked for well over 20 years in financial services; in that time, you get to know the good guys from the bad. The Sovereign team have integrity, a caring attitude and all the planning skills to back it up. No hesitation in recommending them for your financial planning needs. 10/10. Paul Dean, Bristol
For once we weren’t bamboozled by ‘financial-speak’. I was impressed by the way the Sovereign team took pains to see that we were keeping abreast of matters: some of which are, to the uninitiated like Christine and me, rather difficult to follow at times. It is comforting to know that our money is in capable hands. Vince and Christine Robertson, Thornbury, Bristol
Many thanks indeed to the team at Sovereign. They have consistently given us excellent service and quality advice. They have always been flexible and have tailored their service to our changing needs. Mr and Mrs Latimer, Thornbury, Bristol
During my many years of association with the Sovereign team they have dealt with my wife and I in a most professional and courteous manner. Their ability to explain complex financial matters in a simple way has enabled us to make informed decisions and build up a successful investment portfolio. We have no hesitation in recommending Sovereign to friends and family. Indeed, my son and daughter are now clients. Stephen and Diane Haines, Thornbury, Bristol
Sovereign provide financial advice in a very different way to any other adviser I’ve experienced. Their total focus is about ‘the vision’ (not just mine, but my husband’s too) and absolutely not about policies. They have taken time to understand what we want to achieve and have provided observations, ideas and advice that have really focused our attention on how we can reach the end goal. Thanks to Sovereign, we have a clear view of what’s possible and what we need to do. We know they’ll be supporting us every step of the way. Lorraine Jones, Cleeve, North Somerset
