What’s the point of disclosure if it never gets seen?
Jo Cumbo has been writing some interesting pieces ( https://www.ft.com/content/787ad06e-7e7b-11e6-bc52-0c7211ef3198) on how what we need to know about our retirement savings can be delivered to us as we want it. We get our shopping or our meals to our door if … Continue reading

“Strap me in and platform me up”
One of the great financial mysteries of Britain today is the success of fund platforms. Last night, light was shed on their murky secrets by a high priest of their dark arts at a talk I attended in a … Continue reading

Your ten point checklist when choosing a pension

“Only rich people think small amounts don’t matter”
