Some people want to travel the world, take up a new hobby, or help their grandchildren when they retire. Others want to take part in charitable work or start a small business. Whatever you are planning, we can help you.

There are many elements to consider – how to ensure your capital lasts as long as you require, how to meet your day-to-day expenditure as well as larger ad-hoc payments, and how much you might want to pass on to your family. At Saltus, we gather as much information as possible on your existing assets and then harness our technology to show you exactly how to achieve the retirement you’re after.

Our aim is to make resolving a complex issue an enjoyable and empowering process. Pensions of all shapes and sizes can be advised upon, alongside other savings vehicles and accounts depending on your needs. We’ll explain frequently changing tax rules and, importantly, help you make the most of the incentives available to you. Our goal is to help you reach financial freedom earlier and more effectively.

Investments do not guarantee a return, the value and the income from them can fall as well as rise. You may not get back the amount originally invested. Tax advantages and the way benefits are taxed may change to your benefit or detriment as a result of legislation change. This can happen without notice and can be retrospective.
