This week we issued a statement in response to the latest pension reforms. The Taxation of Pensions Bill was released by the Government setting out all the pension tax changes. Savers will be allowed to withdraw up to 25 per cent of their pension pot, tax free, at any time - effectively working as a pensions bank account. Currently to receive a tax free lump sum savers must be 55 and over.
With more freedoms being given, the new pensions landscape is making one thing clear - access to professional, whole of market retirement advice has never been more important.

Every week we post topical web polls asking consumers what they think and feel about their financial situation. In a recent survey we asked consumer "what do you hope to get out of your first meeting with a financial adviser?" 40 per cent wanted an overview of their current finances while 15 per cent wanted an understanding of their financial priorities.
