Pension & Savings Time Bomb


Recent research by Fidelity has found that whilst those who work for employers are beginning to feel the benefits of the Government auto-enrolment scheme, self-employed people are getting left behind when it comes to pensions and savings.

Of the self-employed people surveyed, 62% have no form of pension savings for retirement, and 28% are not saving for anything at all.

In 2017, more than 4.8 million people in the UK were self-employed (15.1% of the workforce) and just one in 10 see a financial adviser regularly, despite having potentially more complex requirements than someone in employment.

Clearly, provisions are required to provide a comfortable retirement and ensure you are not required to continue working past your preferred retirement age in later life.
