   1. UK Pension Options 

Your pensions are probably your biggest asset. However, 9 out of 10 expats have no idea how their money is invested, what level of income they will receive or what hidden fees they are paying every year to some expensive and out-dated pension manager such as Aegon, Friends Provident, Friends Life, Scottish Widows, Prudential etc etc etc.

Did you know you can actually consolidate all your UK pensions into one manageable pot? Take control of how and when you withdraw pension income as opposed to receiving a nominal amount of £27.89 each week which you somehow need to transfer to Thai Baht?

In other words, a UK pension transfer can simplify your life and grant you a superior retirement income. Harrison Brook specializes in providing expert advice on QROP & SIPP options to help clients gain access, control and full visibility of their hard-earned capital. See UK Pension Transfer – QROPS to learn more. 

   2. Generating Retirement Income from Existing Capital

Reaching retirement is an achievement and most people will have built up a ‘pot’ of money to fund themselves and their partner. However, if you just make withdrawals on this capital the pot will diminish very quickly. The best way to manage this is to have your capital growing each year meaning you can live off the growth rather than just depreciating your original pot value.

By working with you and managing your situation Harrison Brook can help you ensure this pot provides the level of income your desire through all of your retirement, not just the first 5 years. Also with simple withdrawals available on a weekly or monthly basis to your account in Thailand getting access to your money when you need it has never been easier.

   3. International Retirement Planning

Harrison Brook offers the perfect solutions for those who wish to be organized for their financial future. However, for every year that passes, achieving your retirement goal becomes increasingly more expensive. The key is to begin saving whatever is comfortable for you.

Our regular savings options give those employed the opportunity to build a retirement fund with geographical portability and international freedom on contributions and withdrawals. The plan will grow in a tax-efficient manner and can be brought to Thailand when you retire.

   4. University & Education Funding

Competition for University places is increasing and tuition fees are rising as a result. Expats living in Thailand also need to consider additional costs such as international flights in between term time and the fact that their children may be classed as international students if they have been living abroad for over 5 years.

An International Education Savings Plan will ensure your children or grandchildren can pursue their desired career and fulfill their aspirations stress-free. Available in a range of currencies with a freedom to en-cash for expenses in you Education country of choice.
