Are you aware that the amount of income available from the Flexi-Access Drawdown fund in your SIPP is not guaranteed and may be exhausted depending on the level of withdrawals and investment performance (amongst other things)?
Are you aware of the amount of tax you will pay when you withdraw money
from your SIPP?
Do you require a regular guaranteed income to sustain your intended
lifestyle through retirement?
Do you have any other pensions or significant savings and investments outside your Wensley Mackay Personal Pension upon which you are able to rely on in the event your SIPP funds are exhausted?
Do you understand that the monies paid under Flexi-Access Drawdown are
taxable?
Do you understand that once the money is withdrawn from your SIPP it loses a number of significant tax advantages and reduced limits will apply for what you are able to pay back in?
Are you aware that drawing pension income may have a detrimental impact on any means-tested benefits to which you otherwise be entitled?
Are you aware that creditors may have a call on any money drawn from your
pension savings?
Have you considered the ongoing charges both for the administration of the pension scheme and pension payments as well as any ongoing investment charges and compared these charges with those applicable from other retirement options?
Have you been contacted by someone suggesting you withdraw money from
your pension scheme in order to invest it?
Do you have any health conditions or lifestyle factors that might mean you are entitled to a better rate on an annuity (an ‘enhanced’ annuity)?
Are you married or do you have other people financially dependent on you?
Dependent on your answers to the above points we will write to you with more detail regarding the particular point and asking you to formally re-confirm that you wish to proceed with your chosen course of action.
