Pension freedoms have been in place since April 2015 - how are consumers taking to the greater flexibilities?
Increasing numbers of people are engaging with pensions and the opportunities now available. But are consumers making good choices? Many people are accessing pension pots early only to sit in low-growth cash, rather than staying invested for longer. And too many are failing to take advice.
With the final report from the FCA’s Retirement Outcomes Review due shortly, we ask whether the industry is doing enough to inform and communicate with consumers. How can firms improve support for clients in making these important choices? Our expert panel debates the issues.

Pete Glancy, Head of Policy, Pensions & Investments, Lloyds Banking Group
