How to start retirement planning
Taking the first steps into investing doesn't have to be complex.
1. Define your goals
Decide whether you are saving for a house, retirement or general wealth building.
2. Choose the right wrapper
Utilise ISAs or Pensions to shelter your investment from UK capital gains and income tax.
3. Select your platform
Compare platform fees, fund range and ease of use before opening an account.
4. Monitor and rebalance
Review your portfolio periodically to ensure it still aligns with your risk tolerance.
