Richard Goodall, partner at Parmenion, said: “The market is taking a very considered approach to the new pension legislation.
“In the two months since Pension Freedoms, we have processed nearly 200 drawdown Sipp accounts with only a third of those accounts currently taking income.
“We are pleased with the continued ease with which we are able to successfully bring major new developments online.”
As well as lump sum withdrawals, drawdown can be drip fed in any format through the in house Sipp, he said, such as regular payments of PCLS or Uncrystallised Lump Sums along with the norm of regular taxable income.
