I might be wrong, but if the LTA charge is removed in 2023, and then the LTA abolished in 2024, is there a 1-year window for those with large enough pots to take a LTA excess lump sum with neither charge nor tax? (I invite you to point out - politely - why I'm wrong.) #Budget2023

This seems broadly positive. However, if your tool is using an unsuitable model, eg an MVC model or modelling historical returns directly, you might find yourself building on shaky ground. lnkd.in/dvMVxW6

In my parting @ThePLSA #Viewpoint article, I've written about the Retirement Living Standards.The scale of RLS adoption is unrivalled by any recent pensions industry initiative & I'm proud to have led the charge.Special mentions to @avivaplc & @EValueuk. plsa.co.uk/Viewpoint/Curr…

Just read this in The Actuary from Gary Smith. I agree that the FCA's deterministic projections "give no indication of the likelihood of outcomes and are not meaningful to a customer’s goals". It's also great to see an IFoA workin…lnkd.in/dfffJWm lnkd.in/dH5S487

7 ways your IGC will scrutinise your investment pathways solutions. hubs.ly/H0sWw2r0

Yes! Surely we need to help set consumer expectations in some way! An otherwise “cautious” fund can become very high risk for someone making high withdrawals! #retirement #pensions #incomedrawdown #investmentpathways lnkd.in/eenN9Vr

With IGCs having to assess each pathway investment as to whether it is appropriate or not and having to assess all customer communications as to whether or not it is fit for purpose, it does sound awfully like a sign-off process. hubs.ly/H0rBSvD0

"Managing drawdown effectively and choosing suitable investment strategies requires the ability to model investment risk and return realistically." Well said! #retirement #incomedrawdown lnkd.in/eNvy6Y8

Imagine #FCA investment pathways were in place now. How would retirees who had just selected pathway feel looking at > 30% fall in their pension assets. FCA is right to encourage drawdown users to think abt their objectives and not to default to cash. Much more help needed
