Podcat #21: What's wrong with pensions?

written by Tom McPhail

Thursday, 14 April 2022

In this bonus podcat episode, Tom shares some personal reflections on the UK pensions system and what’s wrong with it.

This isn't an exhaustive list (that would take a while), but instead Tom walks us through some of the key pension policy issues on his mind right now.

He covers topics such as pension freedoms and taxation, value for money and the new Consumer Duty rules.

Tom also discusses the Statement Season that isn’t, the lack of 'joined-up-ness' on the stronger nudge to pensions guidance and the Treasury’s plans for regulatory reform.
