You’ve built up wealth. Now it’s about turning that into the maximum sustainable income, while paying as little tax as possible.
At Strive, we create personalised retirement income strategies that blend pensions, ISAs, investment accounts, bonds, trusts and (where suitable) VCTs.
Our goal is simple:
To give you the highest income you can safely draw for life, without running out or paying unnecessary tax.
How we do it
We structure withdrawals across all your assets to make full use of your Personal Allowance, Basic Rate Band, Dividend and CGT allowances. That means more income in your pocket, year after year, with a clear plan of the future.
We draw from your pension, ISA, and GIA in the right order, at the right time. Often, we’ll use ISA income to avoid breaching tax thresholds or draw down pensions early for IHT planning. Every pound is accounted for.
We may recommend bonds for tax-deferred growth, VCTs for tax-free dividends, and trusts for passing on wealth efficiently. These tools can be powerful, but we only use them when they clearly support your wider financial plan.
This isn’t just about saving tax in year one. We model your income across decades, stress testing against market changes, inflation, and lifestyle goals, so your income works as hard in year 25 as it does today.
Tax treatment varies according to individual circumstances and is subject to change. Trusts are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Venture Capital Trusts (VCT) invest in assets that are high risk and can be difficult to sell such as shares in unlisted companies. The value of the investment and the income from it can fall as well as rise and investors may not get back what they originally invested, even taking into account the tax benefits.
