IFAs rate ending age-75 as top pension reform

Compared to all other major pension reforms being pushed through this year, 39% of advisers said ending age-75 would benefit consumers most, research from Dunstan Thomas said. A further 30% said auto-enrolment would most benefit consumers, whilst only 20% said unbundling charges would help investors the most. Over three quarters of IFAs surveyed welcomed increased transparency around charges. However, 69% said new qualifications and changes brought in by the Retail Distribution Review (RDR) would render affordable mass market advice unfeasible.
