Pension experts have urged caution in the wake of the UK’s decision to exit the European Union.

Emily Jacobs, Director of Newcastle-under-Lyme based Richard Jacobs Pension and Trustee Services, said that people should not panic and pause to consider their options.

“The current volatality on the financial markets can lead to a reaction with people looking to take money from their pension pots.

“It is clear that pension funds, in common with stocks and shares, will have taken a hit in recent days, but it must also be remembered that pensions are a long term saving plan.

“It is generally wise to leave the money invested in your pension until you need it.  

“Taking smaller withdrawals over a longer time period will often be less risky than taking a large withdrawal all at once.”
