Should I Buy Stocks?

Stock generally should not be held within a pension. Inherently they are too risky.

Yet some clients do still wish to invest in stocks. Mainly due to past experiences and long term horizon most people have of their pension.

I would recommend no more than 20% to be held in stocks. It is however your money and your choice.  If your pension was not your only form of pensionable income this could mean you accept more risk in your pension.
