Has anyone else seen their pension drop suddenly ?

[Ex Footy Legs]

Following the ‘village idiots’ markets tax announcements ?

I prefer not to take a look. It’s disheartening.

Same here - assuming it has but I’m being an Ostrich

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

So much lost value because these right wing think tanks want to give rich people tax cuts

But if you don’t look and then become angry, you’ll keep getting a village idiot for your PM
Looking at it getting angry and then contacting your local mp applies pressure on these idiots to press her into a u turn!!!!!!

Whoa there mate. I don’t have to look at the value of my pension to be angry at these charlatans.

I checked my Monday and I’ve just checked again on this thread I’ve lost 5%

That’s not necessarily a bad thing for me today at 38, as I’ll get pound cost averaging which helps me when it increases in future

My pension was taken down last friday, I am assuming that Aviva were trying to adjust positions. I have no idea where it sits now, in terms of value

I was chatting to a bloke in a pub on Wednesday, his pension had dropped £4000 since Monday, what he felt disheartened about was that even in a good year it would never go up that much over the whole period, but due to some incompetent mini budget it could drop so much in a few days.

Depends on the risk profile. All would have lost value but those in higher risk strategies may well have lost proportionally more. At 38 of course there’s very little to worry about but if you are drawing from it or near to drawing on it you have to be concerned.

Yup, if you were planning on retiring this year or next, plans may have to change a bit. I have 9 years to go, so not too worried

Hang on - that may be part of societies problem in a nutshell.
Roughly translated - ‘when something affects me personally get angry’

I’ve been fighting these barstewareds for longer than I care to remember. Fighting for the poor, workers rights, against their nasty bigotry.

Me? I’m happy to be a sideshow

My pot dropped 1k+ over a week, just days after I transferred my old work pension into my new one..

As an ex teacher we have no pension fund. We paid our money back to the Government and they set up what is called a "Notional Fund'". This guarantees our pension unless they go bankrupt.
And of course there is no way the British government will go........

I'm self employed, and have no pension plans. My plan was to not make it to pensionable age.... getting worried I might now

 

[Wiseman_Vaughn]

It will have nosedived! I’m not going to look. It’s tough for people who are just about to start drawing down but if you still have years to wait, it will comeback

Dont worry. Putin may come to the rescue.

My monthly state pension is paid in Stirling into a UK bank. Fluctuations in the exchange rate can have a massive impact on how much I can withdraw in Euros. Needless to say it has dropped like a stone this last week.

I feel for you. I'm the other way round - most of my pension is in US dollars and converted into Sterling before being deposited into my UK bank.

I’m going index linked on my navy pension in 2 years… due to low interest rates I’m not expecting as big a jump as guys 10 years ago but the next 2 years might top it up, hopefully as my private pot is another £300 down today and that’s after this months payment went in..
