Retirement planning shouldn’t feel like learning a new language. Yet, when it comes to Pensions, Estate planning, Equity Release and taxes, the jargon can make things confusing.

We’re here to change that. This straight-talking guide explains key terms in plain English, so you can feel confident in your knowledge – and your future.

Rebalancing

Over time, your asset mix may drift from your target. Rebalancing means adjusting your investments periodically to maintain your desired mix.

Inflation

The rise in the cost of goods and services over time, which reduces the value of money.

Asset Allocation

This is simply the mix of different types of investments – like stocks, bonds, and cash. The right mix helps balance risk and return for your retirement goals.

Diversification

Spreading your investments across different assets and sectors to reduce risk.

Risk Tolerance

How much risk are you willing to take? This determines whether you lean towards safer investments (like bonds) or more growth-focused ones (like equities).
