A new directory of regulated financial advisers aimed at helping retirees following the pensions and annuities revolution has been given the green light.

A move by the Government designed to boost savers' pension funds by cutting down on 'excessive' charges may hit companies' incomes by £1bn – five times more than previously suggested.

Nearly eight out of ten adults back auto-enrolment and believe it is a good policy, a survey has suggested.

The sales of two types of Sipp offered by AXA Wealth have risen over the last year, the firm has reported.

The total UK 'at retirement' market has been forecast to more than triple in size in the next 10 years, with annuity sales still high despite taking a hit in 2014.

The time has come for a 'pensions passport' to be made a reality, according to leading figures in the industry who have come out in favour of the idea.

The FCA has today sent a damning letter to all Sipp operators telling them there are still widespread failings which put consumers' pension savings at "considerable risk".
