There has undoubtedly been an evolution in retirement planning, and advice processes and solutions, since the introduction of pension freedoms in April 2015. But seven years on, the landscape has quite dramatically changed.

Economic ripples from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic followed by war in Ukraine have turned into waves and served to bring about multiple challenges, including investment volatility, and the current inflationary environment and the associated cost of living crisis. Subsequently, the challenges and opportunities for supporting clients with vital retirement planning considerations and decision making are myriad.

In conjunction with AKG, we spoke to over 200 UK Advisers to take a closer look at the challenges and requirements of servicing client’s at- and in-retirement from an investment perspective, as well as ascertaining what stage intermediary firms are at with recognising retirement planning challenges for their clients and developing the requisite solutions to service them, now and in future.
