Over the next decade, the rate that clients will seek retirement advice is expected to grow exponentially. Planning for life in retirement presents a number of risks which need to be mitigated in order to maximise your client's income in retirement.
This is where we can help.
Exposure to market losses in the early years of retirement can impact how long your pension lasts.
Consumers may exhaust their assets too quickly, advisers need to ensure clients maintain a realistic spending pattern through market cycles.
An investment term of 20 years or more needs to be planned for as more and more retirees live longer.
The investment strategy needs to hedge the fall in the purchasing power as the price of goods and services rise over time.
Markets are inherently volatile and can expose investors to the possibility of loss in the short term.
Some investors have a habit of undertaking the wrong action at the wrong time. Advisers need to maintain their clients’ long term asset allocation through market cycles.
Our approach
We believe bucketing helps to mitigate against client’s emotional responses to the various investment risks we’ve highlighted. This typically involves:
- Cash for a client’s immediate income needs
- A short-term portfolio of low-risk investments
- A diversified portfolio of higher-risk investments that can be left to grow on a long-term basis.
Through the thoughtful design and implementation of an investment strategy that can cater to client income needs and risk profiles, both our Discretionary Fund Management Service and MPS on Platforms service can help advice firms achieve their client goals through a Centralised Retirement Proposition (CRP). This enables them to plan for the life they wish to have in retirement.
Common and consistent approach for all clients in a defined client segment.
Allows you to leverage Investec Wealth & Investment (UK)’s investment research and due diligence process to address regulatory risks.
Actively managed and monitored portfolios that seek to take advantage of market opportunities.

Coming back to the table on CRPs
Our latest report with AKG delves into the world of retirement planning and takes a temperature check on the understanding, development and use of Centralised Retirement Propositions (CRPs) within intermediary firms across UK. We spoke to over 200 UK Advisers to take a closer look at the challenges and requirements of servicing client’s at- and in-retirement from an investment perspective, as well as ascertaining what stage intermediary firms are at with recognising retirement planning challenges for their clients and developing the requisite solutions to service them, now and in future.
We act as a partner with Advisers when it comes to outsourcing their CRP to discretionary wealth managers. With resources including over 300 investment managers operating out of 14 offices throughout the UK, we are focused on working with you to help you put in place investment solutions that meet clients’ income and other needs in retirement.
