Pensions and Retirement

Hamilton is an Edinburgh-based firm of independent financial advisers working with clients across the UK. We provide pension and retirement planning to help you understand what you have, what you may need and how to turn pensions, savings and investments into a sustainable retirement income.

Planning for retirement

Retirement planning built around your life

Personalised retirement planning

No two retirements look the same. We build a plan around your goals, timescale, lifestyle and existing pensions, savings and investments. Based in Edinburgh and working with clients across the UK, we can meet face to face or remotely and review the plan as your circumstances change. Book a free initial meeting to discuss what you want retirement to look like.

Income in retirement

Planning how to access your pension, savings and investments in retirement is crucial. With our pension advice and tax planning expertise, we’ll help you develop a tax-efficient income withdrawal strategy. This ensures your money, funds and investments last as long as you need them, while reducing exposure to unnecessary tax costs through smart tax planning.
