The UK's over-55s are working longer as they fall back on their savings to meet living costs, according to research.

About a quarter of over-55s will spend at least two decades of their 'winding down years' saddled with some debt, Aviva research suggests.

Aviva has launched an iPad app to help advisers service their clients after the Retail Distribution Review (RDR).

Over one third of advisers are considering changing their platform in the next 12 months according to a report released today.

Product provider Aviva is set to cut a further 120 jobs as it continues to target cost savings of £400m.

Aviva has launched an additional two pension levels on its platform to sit alongside its current self-invested personal pension (SIPP) business.

RDR

Nine in ten advisers say equity release is relevant to their client bank, according to a new research released today.

Providers must be clear about the consumers they want to reach post-Retail Distribution Review (RDR) to bolster their adviser networks, Aviva has said.

Advisers can service the projected hard to reach middle-market post-Retail Distribution Review (RDR) with a good value proposition, according to Aviva.
