Commenting on the announcement that Torsten Bell is to remain as Pensions Minister under new Prime Minister Andy Burnham, Malcolm Reynolds, Aptia’s UK President, said: ‘We welcome the confirmation that Torsten Bell will remain as Pensions Minister. At a time when pension adequacy, investment reform and retirement outcomes are firmly in the spotlight, continuity of leadership is particularly important.
‘Aptia's research shows that 70% of people approaching retirement are concerned their pension savings will not be enough to meet future living costs, underlining the significance of the decisions being made today.
‘Pensions are inherently long-term, and we welcome the stability his reappointment brings as the industry navigates through a period of unprecedented change. We look forward to continuing to work with the Minister and government to help deliver better outcomes for pension savers.’
