Translate a Pension Statement Into Plain English
The pension statement arrives once a year, you skim the big number, and file it. Paste it and get the headline figures explained - current pot, projected retirement income, the lot - in plain words. It demystifies rather than advising on investment choices. For anyone who wants to know where they actually stand.
