Understanding pensions in an era of disruption

Do you know whether you’re on track for a comfortable retirement? And is your expectation of what your retirement will look like a reality?

With investment your capital is at risk. Tax treatments depend on your individual circumstances and may change in the future.

The UK's pension landscape

By exploring the UK pension landscape - peoples’ motivations, attitudes and behaviours towards retirement planning – our latest report Understanding pensions in an era of disruption: Attitudes towards retirement saving and the UK pensions shortfall reveals that on average, people approaching pension age face a £271,000 pension shortfall. This equates to a total deficit of almost £187 billion for those aged 65 or older.

As rising inflation and the increasing cost-of-living continues to put pressure on investors and retirees, we set out tips to support long-term savings.

Our key findings show that:

Our expert investment team will manage your pension for you and keep you updated.

Projections are never a perfect predictor of future performance, and are intended as an aid to decision-making, not as a guarantee. The projection includes the effect of Nutmeg’s fees, investment fund costs, and market spread – personalised to your planned contributions.

As with all investing, your capital is at risk. The value of your portfolio with Nutmeg can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest. A pension may not be right for everyone and tax rules may change in the future. Please note that during any transfer, your investments will be out of the market. If you are unsure if a pension is right for you, please seek financial advice.
