The advice gap
The pension freedoms introduced in 2015 allowed savers to flexibly use their funds for a wider range of options, including cash, annuity or drawdown.
Nine years on this has created a complex, underserved marketplace, where two thirds of those retiring can't afford regulated financial advice when accessing their retirement savings.
- KNOWLEDGE AND CONFIDENCE
How Pension Potential helps everyone
Annuities might be a pretty standard pension product, but that doesn’t mean they’re particularly well known – or well understood.
Enter Pension Potential, a free service that gives your members the knowledge and confidence they need to decide which (if any) annuity is the right one for them.

Pensions Retirement- Adding value
How we look out for everyone
We know enough about pensions to know not everyone else does. It’s one of the reasons we founded National Pension Tracing Day and, with the support of the wider industry, turned it into a vital campaign to help people track down pensions they’d forgotten about.
