Here's a jarring truth: if you're under 50, the retirement your parents enjoyed is already extinct. The company pension that guaranteed a comfortable retirement? Gone. The employer who carefully managed your golden years? They've handed you the keys and walked away. Since 2015, Britain's pension revolution has transformed retirement from a predictable ending into an adventure you must navigate alone-and most people are woefully unprepared for the journey. This shift happened with stunning speed. Within a single generation, we've witnessed one of history's most dramatic transfers of financial responsibility. Companies once promised retirement income based on your final salary and years of service, shouldering all investment risk and longevity uncertainty. Today's workers face defined contribution plans-a pot of money with no guarantees attached. Why? The math became unsustainable. People retiring in 1980 expected 15 years of retirement; today's 65-year-olds might enjoy 25 or more years. Meanwhile, investment returns collapsed from 9% annually in the 1990s to barely 2.5% today. This double blow forced giants like British Airways and Marks & Spencer to close their generous schemes, leaving millions to become their own pension managers overnight. Before you can generate retirement income, you need to locate it. Most people accumulate pension pots like forgotten storage units-scattered across former employers, some with companies that no longer exist under their original names. This fragmentation isn't just inconvenient; it's costly and dangerous. Multiple small pots mean multiple fee structures, inconsistent investment strategies, and a retirement picture so fragmented it's nearly impossible to manage effectively. Consolidation offers clarity, but it's not always straightforward. Start by tracking down every pension, using resources like the government's pension tracing service. Then comes the critical part: checking what you might lose. Some older pensions contain hidden gems worth preserving. Guaranteed annuity rates as high as 11%-unthinkable in today's market-sometimes lurk in decades-old policies. Minimum maturity values, terminal bonuses, or exit penalties that vanish at 55 might make keeping certain pots separate worthwhile. One retiree, Glenn Mousley, consolidated most of his pensions but kept his Friends Provident plan separate specifically for its guaranteed 11% rate-a decision that will pay dividends for decades. When selecting a platform for consolidation, small differences compound dramatically. A 0.5% annual fee difference on 200,000 costs over 40,000 in lost income across 25 years.
