Financial Education – why we do it- why we love it!
We’re simple folk at First Actuarial .we build our strategies around things we like to do, things we are good at and things that need to be done. We like helping people “get” pensions. It gives us a buzz when … Continue reading
“Pensions that are no more”
Cardinal O’Brien Scotland‘s most senior Catholic, has been very specific in his comments on social inequality. Ostensibly they are aimed at David Cameron, but if the pensions industry think they are absolved, they should think again. (Cardinal O’Brien) said: “When I say poor, I don’t … Continue reading
