Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
ETFs can be high risk and complex and may not be suitable for retail investors, so you should make sure you understand all the risks involved before investing.
The value of your investments and the income from them may go down as well as up, and you could get back less than you invested.
The value of a pension can go down as well as up – and you could get less than the amount that's been put in.
You should consider charges, investment choices and any valuable benefits that could be lost before combining any pensions.
The decision to access your pension is an important one and will affect your income and possibly your standard of living for years to come.
Therefore we recommend that before any decision is made you receive regulated financial advice or get free guidance from Pension Wise.
Pensions are long-term investments. You may get back less than you originally paid in because your capital is not guaranteed and charges may apply.

VCTs are higher-risk investments designed for UK resident taxpayers with an investment time horizon of greater than 5 years, which is the minimum holding period to qualify for income tax relief.
Tax reliefs depend on individual circumstances and may change. They may be difficult to sell at a price close to the value of the underlying assets or at the time of your choosing. They should only form a small part of an investor’s portfolio.
You should read the relevant prospectus before making any decisions.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
ETFs can be high risk and complex and may not be suitable for retail investors, so you should make sure you understand all the risks involved before investing.
The value of your investments and the income from them may go down as well as up, and you could get back less than you invested.
The value of a pension can go down as well as up – and you could get less than the amount that's been put in.
You should consider charges, investment choices and any valuable benefits that could be lost before combining any pensions.
The decision to access your pension is an important one and will affect your income and possibly your standard of living for years to come.
Therefore we recommend that before any decision is made you receive regulated financial advice or get free guidance from Pension Wise.
Pensions are long-term investments. You may get back less than you originally paid in because your capital is not guaranteed and charges may apply.

They may not be right for you if you don’t want to invest across different asset classes or don’t think you will make use of the investment choices available to you.
Tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject to change in the future.
VCTs are higher-risk investments designed for UK resident taxpayers with an investment time horizon of greater than 5 years, which is the minimum holding period to qualify for income tax relief.
Tax reliefs depend on individual circumstances and may change. They may be difficult to sell at a price close to the value of the underlying assets or at the time of your choosing. They should only form a small part of an investor’s portfolio.
You should read the relevant prospectus before making any decisions.
