Tip 3: Financial advice can be an investment- The FCA found that only 11% of pensions were accessed to purchase an annuity (April 2018 to Mar 2019). Increasing numbers are accessing their pension through income drawdown. However, recent PPI research has found that cognitive decline over retirement may make it more difficult for some people to make appropriate decisions about how to access their savings in their older years.
