The Pensions Regulator has launched a scam-busting campaign asking trustees, providers and administrators to pledge to take all possible actions to protect members from pension scams.
We continue to monitor the effects of Coronavirus on the markets and the economy as a whole. Coronavirus has affected investment markets around the world and you may be worried about what will have happened to your pension savings. It is important not to panic, history shows that in time markets recover, indeed some investment markets have undergone significant recoveries from their lows earlier in the year. You should be reassured that your savings are in a strong position for the long term.
The Pensions Regulator (TPR) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), supported by The Money and Pensions Service (MaPS), say fears over the impact of the pandemic on markets and personal finances may make savers more vulnerable to scams or making a decision that could damage their long-term interests.
Deciding what to do with your retirement income is important and you should think carefully about what is right for you.
