Regulation

HSBC is to review historical pension transfer cases to see if it is earning trail income for ongoing advice it is not delivering.

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) expects a significant increase in the number of sanctions it hands out for auto-enrolment non-compliance as small employers hit their staging dates.

From 'give us a quote' to 'what should I do?': How pension freedoms are transforming client behaviour

The Personal Finance Society (PFS) has written to the Money Advice Service (MAS) and The Pensions Advisory Service (TPAS) to suggest they change their names to better reflect the services they offer.

Banking giant HSBC has been told to return the trail commission it took from a retiree for ongoing pensions advice it never delivered.

The Institute of Directors (IoD) has made a plea to the next elected government to not make any more changes to pension legislation or even appoint a pensions minister.

The pensions industry should not "bank on education" as the key to ensuring individuals save sufficiently for their retirement, The Pensions Advisory Service (TPAS) warns.

Will regulated advice suffer a blow?

Pensions minister Steve Webb has warned he will keep a sharp eye on the pensions industry following the announcement of the Budget freedoms in March.

The Pensions Advisory Service (TPAS) is planning to target savers who have indicated they plan to make full use of the pension freedoms outlined at Budget 2014, to warn them of the dangers of doing so.
