Pensions

At Clark and Poole, we can offer expert advice on your pension, including Personal Pensions, Stakeholder Pensions and Group Pension schemes. It is a complicated area that many people avoid, or simply put off 'for another day.' We can help you make your choices for the future in a simple and easy to understand manner.

There are many points in life when you should consider your Pension provisions, often at stressful and busy times. We are happy to do the research required that will make things easier for you, when you may not have the time available, or you may not feel you are sufficiently informed to make such important decisions. Some key points in life when you should review your pension arrangements are listed below. For example if you are:

Changing job (you may wish to transfer a company scheme, begin a new personal pension, or discuss the new company pension offered)
Going through a divorce (understanding the impact of your divorce settlement on your future pension provision)
Planning to retire (discussing the options for drawing your pension, understanding your state entitlement)
Starting a new family (considering the financial security of your family in the future and the impact if your wife or husband ceases to pay into a pension.)

Your options may be to take out a new pension, transfer an existing one, draw down your current pension or simply understand your current provisions. We will work with you to build a comprehensive plan to ensure that you have considered all aspects of your future financial security.

We are completely independent, so are able to review the whole market to find the most appropriate pension for you based on your circumstances, needs, attitude to risk and objectives. We are more than happy to discuss your situation, without any obligation to act on our suggestions.

We are also equipped to arrange and administer Group Pensions Schemes and welcome any corporate clients to contact us for further information.

Thank you so much for all your help, assistance and guidance. You’ve been fantastic and I will have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending you to my friends, colleagues and clients.

When we purchased our house and required a mortgage Andy provided sound advice which we followed with a successful outcome. We were new to the country which complicated our application somewhat but Andy came through for us. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Andy and Bob have offered our business excellent advice in a number of areas from pensions to insurance. They always offer sound advice based on thorough research. I would have no hesitation in recommending Clark and Poole to any company that requires financial guidance.

Bob Poole & Andy Clark have been professional & personal friends of mine for many years. The financial services they offer are wide ranging, can be refined for virtually any requirement, and to my certain experience their knowledge and feel for the specialist markets led by property and all related matters are second to none. I hope you may consider using their services – you will be in the very best of hands.
Ken Schofield MBE

Bob provided me with very helpful advice, both financial and practical, and was extremely efficient and thorough. I was particularly impressed with the speed at which he worked and with his market knowledge; on this basis Clark and Poole could easily rival many city-based financial advisers. I was very grateful to have the benefit of Bob's experience and help with my financial affairs and will certainly contact him for future advice.

Andy Clark of Clark and Poole Independent Financial Advisers Ltd can be highly recommended due to the fantastic service we have enjoyed over the years. We have always been pleased with the professional advice offered. The service has always been provided on a timely manner and has taken the stress away from buying a new house.
Karl and Claire Thompson, Wokingham

I found them very friendly and professional and they certainly gave us sound, solid financial advice. We were very happy. They helped us with our Mortgage, Life cover and pension. I would certainly use them again.
Karen Dighton, Wokingham

Excellent advice given while searching for a new mortgage, explained in simple and easy to understand terms. Ease of contact for advice after meetings is superb. We are moving away from the Wokingham area but we will certainly be using Clark and Poole for all out financial requirements in the future.
Andrew Vernon, Finchampstead

I wish to thank you greatly for your assistance, persistence, expertise and unfailing good humour during the farrago which has resulted in our having our new home.

We know that obtaining mortgages has become more difficult than in the past and, on reflection, that what you earn in commission is in some cases scant reward for the work involved. All the more reason for our gratitude for your valiant and successful efforts.

It goes without saying that we will strongly recommend you to our friends and colleagues and sincerely hope that their situations are far easier for you to manage than ours was.
