United Kingdom (UK) Financial Advice in Pensions 2021
Summary
Pensions are one of the most complex financial products, yet most individuals do not access advice and may not be making the most of their investments. Individuals financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic have been the largest users of financial advice on pensions. Advisors have an opportunity to grow their customer base by improving access to advice and offering customers varying levels of service at different price points. This would make advice services more relevant to specific consumer groups, based on their life stage, their financial situation, how they were impacted by COVID-19, and ultimately their own goals.
This report assesses the profiles of consumers accessing advice on their private pensions and examines how often they access advice, which channels they use, and for which aspects of managing pensions they take advice. The report explores what considerations customers take into account when choosing financial advice and how COVID-19 impacts individuals advice choices. This report has been built using insights from our 2021 UK Life & Pensions Survey data, featuring a panel of 4,000 consumers aged 18+.
