Will regulated advice suffer a blow?

The Pensions Advisory Service (TPAS) is planning to target savers who have indicated they plan to make full use of the pension freedoms outlined at Budget 2014, to warn them of the dangers of doing so.

The Treasury is to establish a dedicated guidance guarantee operation for face-to-face meetings separate from The Pensions Advisory Service (TPAS), Michelle Cracknell has said.

Retirement Planner readers will get a 20% discount on the Henry Stewart SIPPs and Retirement Options conference.

The fallout for victims of pension scams will be greater than expected due to under reporting, according to the Pensions Advisory Service (TPAS).

How should the guidance guarantee look? Chris Daems believes it should take a leaf out of NHS Direct's book.

The Pensions Advisory Service (TPAS) - one of the bodies tasked by the government with delivering free and independent guidance on retirees' options - has outlined its plans for how it would be done.

The retirement market is changing and financial advisers and their clients need more information about the different options. Helen Morrissey goes through the latest findings into where support is needed and how it should be delivered.

Millions of pension savers will be prevented from taking cash freely from their retirement funds next April unless they pay hefty penalties that could slash their pots by more than 20%, according to reports.

The guidance guarantee, if delivered as planned, will do little more than deter people from "doing stupid things" with their pension pots - it will not help them plan for their retirement, according to LEBC.
