Retirement issues and why Trustees should provide financial education with access to advice
Employers and Trustees recognise that for those pension scheme members nearing retirement, it is important that they understand their retirement income options. This is, especially important given the events of the last 12 months. There is no doubt employers and Trustees can play a key role but it can be difficult to know where to start.
