New nudge to pensions guidance a step in the right direction
Commenting on the government’s new measures introduced to protect savers and boost pension guidance take-up, Jamie Jenkins, Director of Policy & External Affairs at Royal London, said:
“The world of pensions is often complex and can be difficult to navigate, so it’s great to see the government introducing new rules to try and improve the use of guidance. Our research found that nearly three in four (72%) adults admitted they have little or no knowledge about pensions, with nearly one in five (19%) workplace pension holders having ‘no idea’ what happens to their pension contributions. While these changes may not solve that problem overnight, it’s good to trial new ideas that might help.”
