Reshaping Retirement Strategies 2024 | Financial Times Live | 21 February 2024 | Webinar

After a year dominated by high interest rates and a looming recession, easing inflation in the UK offers savers a more optimistic outlook for 2024. More promising conditions signal an opportunity for investors to sharpen their focus on growth while keeping an eye on wealth preservation.

In the past year, extensive changes have reshaped the pensions landscape. Some are set to take effect this coming April, including a bumper increase to the state pension and the formal abolition of the lifetime allowance. As the UK general election approaches, investors face the prospect of further policy shifts. Staying informed of economic reforms and pension developments will be crucial for effectively navigating the evolving system, helping savers protect their investments and plan for retirement.

Key Discussion Topics:
• What are the potential long-term effects of recent regulatory changes on pension planning?
• As central banks are expected to start cutting rates over the course of the year, what are the implications for retirement strategies?
• How can pension investment strategies adapt to the rapidly evolving economic fluctuations and market conditions? Where are the growth opportunities? How might alternative assets contribute to wealth preservation and growth in a pension portfolio?
• What pension changes are to be expected if Labour win the next election?
