  • Help your clients make informed investment choices

    We understand that clients need support, not only to make informed decisions about where to best invest in drawdown, but also to maintain an investment strategy that meets their continuing retirement objectives. There are a number of options they may wish to consider:

    • Invest using Investment Pathways - we have a guide available to help customers understand the choices available to them, through transferring to another pension plan within the Phoenix group or with another provider.
    • Change their investments - we offer a wide range of funds to invest in with different investment styles and objectives to suit individual needs. You can find details of funds, including performance and factsheets in our Fund Information Centre.
    • Stay invested as they are - if they don't wish to change their investments, you can review their current investments with them to make sure they meet their retirement objectives. You can view details of the funds they're invested in through our online services.

    Whether you need fund information, prices and factsheets, or forms and guides, we have a wealth of information available to help support your clients' drawdown investment journey.

  • Please get in touch if you have any queries about drawdown. We are here between 8.30am and 5.30pm, Monday to Friday.

  • Please bear in mind

    By taking income from a pension fund, together with any charges, your client is reducing the value of their pension fund and potential for future growth - particularly if they take high levels of income and/or investment returns are poor. The value of the fund could fall below the amount originally placed in drawdown and could even run out sooner than illustrated.

    Taking high income and/or lump sums may mean your client will pay more tax, and could cause them to enter a higher tax bracket.

    Tax treatments are subject to change and depend on individual client circumstances.

    Investments can fall in value as well as rise and clients could get back less than they invest.
