Pension drawdown
Our pension drawdown service is the online, flexible way to access your money however and whenever it suits you.
What is drawdown?
Drawdown means you're withdrawing parts of your pension, whilst keeping the rest invested.
Once you turn 55 you can access your pension. You can withdraw 25% of your pension completely tax-free, either taking it in one go, or in portions every time you withdraw an amount.
Both drawdown options means the rest of your pension will stay invested and can be withdrawn whenever - but you'll pay income tax at your marginal rate for all withdrawals over your 25% tax-free amount.
Is drawdown right for me?
Drawdown is very flexible, because you can access your money however and whenever you like.
Your pot value depends on how your investments perform, which means there is future growth potential, but it also means you aren't guaranteed an income.
If you're looking for a fixed income, then you may want to explore purchasing an Annuity.
At Penfold, there's no restrictions with how you access your pension - you can take your money however you'd like - through drawdown, buying an Annuity or taking it even in one go.
