2024 Adviser Research

Rethinking Retirement and CIPs

A new research report into adviser attitudes to decumulation strategies

Hot on the heels of the FCA’s thematic review into pensions advice, we’re publishing our latest research into adviser attitudes on decumulation.  This exclusive research was conducted for us by the lang cat and we’re looking at how advisers are adapting (or not) to the changing market for retirement advice.

Among the key findings of our research:

  • at the start of this year just one in five advice firms planned to make changes to their investment approach for clients in retirement
  • advisers have a growing interest in guaranteed and smoothed investment products for clients taking an income, with one in three (30%) increasing their usage of these products in the last two years and a further quarter (26%) reviewing their approach
  • only 5% of advisers were ‘extremely confident’ that their approach to retirement planning makes them stand out from the competition

Download the report now by filling in your details in the box on the right, and watch the short video discussion of the findings between our MD Robert Vaudry and the lang cat’s Consulting Director Mike Barrett.
