Sheila and John S from Oakville met with an advisor to discuss their options for taking a company pension or commuting the pension to self-managed investments when they retire in a couple years. The advisor explored what retirement would look like for them, if additional employment would be needed if they commuted the pension, and other factors to consider like risk management strategies. The clients appreciated the advisor's time and expertise to help them decide between the options, though a final decision is still pending.

1. Sheila and John S from Oakville have to make a
decision in a couple of years on whether to
take a company pension or commute the
pension to self-managed investments. While
fairly knowledgeable about the options, they
appreciated the time that I made to meet with
them in the company of a senior advisor who
has experience with similar clients. We
explored what retirement would look like, if
other employment would be necessary after
commutation to ensure the investments would
be sufficient for the long term, and other
factors to consider, including risk management
strategies. The decision is still pending but the
clients are relieved to know that I provide
professional advice.
