The UK Post-Retirement Pensions Market 2019: Challenges Include Low-Paying State Pension & Inadequate Pension Pots – ResearchAndMarkets.com
This report looks into the
With an aging population, the number of individuals in retirement continues to grow year on year. However, the market faces many challenges, including a low-paying state pension and, for many, inadequate pension pots. Pension saving is improving thanks to auto-enrollment, although the benefits of this will largely be felt by younger generations. The pension freedoms have also brought significant changes to the way individuals access pensions.
Full withdrawals are now commonplace - especially for low-value pots - while income drawdown is the preferred option for higher-value pension plans. This is all set against a context of relatively limited uptake of financial advice, in part due to the costs involved. Robo-advice may be one solution to provide low-cost advice, while government initiatives may also succeed in boosting consumer engagement and confidence in retirement saving.
Scope
- Auto-enrollment is boosting workplace pensions, with 2018 annual premium equivalent growing by 22% on 2017. Two thirds of individuals in their 20s have started a pension through auto-enrollment, compared to 30% of those in their 50s.
- 61.1% of retired individuals state their lifestyle is as expected in retirement, while 18.2% state it is better than expected. The majority of these will have retired before the pension freedoms were introduced.
- Financial advisors state that retirement is the number one prompt to seek financial advice, but uptake is varied. For example, 62% of full pensions withdrawals are made with no advice or guidance.
