Retirement

Retirement Latitude™

Compound noun, 
Freedom to behave, act, or think in the way you want to in retirement without the fear of running out of money.

What is Retirement’?

Retirement means many different things to each and everyone of us. We all have stories of our nearest and dearest’s retirement, how it looked, felt and changed their lives. The common definition of retirement in the developed world is the withdrawal from one’s position or occupation or from one’s active working life. Retirement can be on your terms or it can be forced on you by health or external factors; without question, everyone would prefer it to be on their terms.

Knowledge

At Latitude we know that retirement is more nuanced than the definition and that there are many individuals that swerve the ‘common definition’ to create a new future rather than a withdrawal. Therefore, retirement can be defined as a significant life event and often a decision that is only made once in life. The beauty is that it is your life event and it can be what, when and how you want it to be.

Understanding

We understand and have many experiences of clients wanting support to define their ideal future. It is only once we have understood you and what you want that future to be that we get to work on showing how much is ‘enough’ to support your objectives and desired lifestyle without fear of running out.

Experience

Having reviewed your current circumstances, acting as your ‘Navigator’, we set out your personal strategy to deploy to move towards achieving your successful outcome. And much like a pilot adjusts his course according to his surroundings, we are there to guide and navigate you on your evolving journey.

We also know there are many, many myths, misconceptions and untruths surrounding retirement too. Here at Latitude we bust those myths and educate our clients to provide them with clarity for their retirement.

Planning for Retirement

These clients are typically over 50 and want to focus on their finances as their children move into adulthood. They aren’t sure exactly when they want to retire but most likely within the next 5-10 years.

They have questions such as:

– What is a realistic retirement date given my current circumstances?
– What changes can I make now to allow me to retire sooner?

They want comprehensive retirement planning and financial advice, not just someone that discusses pensions and investments.

At Retirement

These clients tend to be in their late 50s or early 60s and have a date in mind for retirement.

They have questions such as:

– Can I afford to retire now?
– How much can I spend in retirement?
– Can I afford to gift to the children/grandchildren?
– I have a range of pensions and investments. How do I optimise them to deliver a retirement income?

They want comprehensive retirement planning and financial advice, not just someone that discusses pensions and investments.

During Retirement

These clients tend to have attained the panacea of retirement and financial independence.

The have questions such as:

– Am I still on track? What are the possibilities?
– Do I need to return to work?
– I want to experience/change/do/buy x? How will that impact us?
– I want to reduce my Inheritance Tax Liability, how do I do that?
– I want to secure my legacy for the family, what does that look like?
– I am concerned about care, how can we ensure financial security?

They want comprehensive retirement planning and financial advice, not just someone that discusses pensions and investments.
