help in planning your pension

my scratchcard retirement plan wasn't looking too promising so I made other plans

a pension isn't just a good way to prepare for retirement

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that the earlier you start a pension the better. If you're not sure where to start, then the Stakeholder Pension is worth a look. They're easy to understand, affordable and have low charges. Even for rocket scientists.

If you decide to invest through this website you will be doing so without receiving any investment advice. first direct doesn't give advice on the suitability of the HSBC Stakeholder Pension. If you have any doubts about the suitability of this investment you should seek independent financial advice from a qualified financial adviser.

what's changed from 6 April 2006

The 6th April 2006 was 'A-Day', when the Government's new pensions legislation came into effect. Basically, this legislation simplified the rules for pensions and allowed most people to set aside more money for their retirement. So whether you already have a pension or intend to have one, A-Day could affect your plans for the future. It's well worth reading HSBC's A to Z of A-Day, a guide to the pensions changes and how they may affect you.
