Advisers' rumoured to be shunning small investor range
NEST's fresh approach to the retirement 'glidepath'
A BlackRock defined contribution (DC) saver has used pensions freedom to cash in a £300,000 pot despite warnings he would be hit by the 45% additional tax rate.
Seven out of eight of the National Employment Saving Trust's (NEST) investment funds have outperformed their benchmarks since its establishment in 2011.
The advent of pensions freedom and auto-enrolment means it is time for advisers to rethink traditional retirement investment strategies and look toward "cradle to grave" investing, according to Birthstar.
