Are You Ready for Retirement? Two-Thirds of Manx Residents Might Not Be!

Following a recent question in Tynwald from Chris Thomas MHK to Treasury Minister, Alex Allinson, it was revealed that only one in three individuals on the Isle of Man has a pension.

This statistic is particularly concerning,” says Simon Burras, Senior Financial Consultant at Edgewater, “especially when you consider that the Manx State Pension currently provides around £241.50 per week – an amount that may fall short of supporting a comfortable retirement".

Additionally, the Isle of Man is facing demographic challenges, with projections indicating that the national insurance fund could be depleted by 2047 if no reforms are implemented. This highlights the importance of individuals taking proactive steps to secure their financial future.​

Why Consider a Personal Pension Plan?

  • Supplement State Pension - Relying solely on the state pension may not provide the lifestyle you envisage for your retirement. A personal pension can bridge this gap, offering additional financial security.​
  • Tax Benefits - Contributions to personal pensions often come with tax relief, enhancing the growth potential of your retirement savings.​
  • Flexibility and Control - Personal pensions allow you to choose investment options that align with your risk tolerance and retirement goals, giving you greater control over your financial future.
