We are regularly reminded that we are not saving enough for our old age, which is why this month’s edition of Trustnet Magazine examines what retirement actually looks like if you haven’t paid enough into your pension. Hannah Smith’s cover story uses the example of Sarah, a 58-year-old mother of three, who always had good intentions when it came to saving for retirement, but who found life always got in the way. It is not all doom and gloom though, as Laura Miller finds out there is an easy – and free – fix for NEST savers to boost the value of their pension. Staying on this theme, Pádraig Floyd finds out that what are regularly cited as the main weaknesses of pensions could actually be their biggest strengths, while John Blowers reveals how to set up your SIPP.
In the magazine’s regular columns, Waverton’s Luke Hyde-Smith names the trust he is using to diversify away from equities and bonds, BMO Global Asset Management’s Jamie Jenkins picks three stocks set to benefit from the increased focus on sustainability and, finally, in this month’s sector focus, Anthony Luzio finds out why it is so important to take a global outlook when investing for income.
