Pension freedoms brought fundamental change to retirement planning and the way your clients can take money from their pension. 

The subsequent rise in drawdown, and the much-welcomed increase in choice and flexibility came with additional risks. Heightened exposure to sequencing and longevity risk, and the steady decline of defined benefit pensions, should have led to a shift in retirement planning strategies. To find out, the FCA launched its thematic review of retirement income advice in 2019. Paused due to the pandemic, it has now been published and you can read the findings here.

The direction of travel from the regulator is clear. Firms will have to reassess existing retirement investment and income strategies to ensure they are fit for purpose. Advice models that are not suitably designed to meet the specific needs of clients in decumulation will come under scrutiny. 

A new phase of retirement planning is on the horizon. That’s why we’ve pooled together the resources from our teams at Wealthtime and Copia, and experts from across the industry to provide insight to help advisers assess their current retirement strategies, and plan for the future.

Webinar - How to build and maintain a best-in-class retirement service 

When we hosted our first round of Rethinking Retirement Roadshows back in April 2024, nearly three quarters of attendees told us they were actively reviewing their retirement strategy.  

Six months later, we sent our experts back on the road. This time the objective was to help advisers move from reviewing and strategising to implementing and executing a best-in-class retirement advice service. 

The feedback from the events has been brilliant, so we’re putting on a webinar for anyone who missed it. Take a look at what's on the agenda and register today.
