Pension Season 2024 – shaping up to be busy and productive
To help set you and your clients up for it in the best way, we have a number of initiatives in the works.
Engaging clients
As you’re well aware, there’s a gulf between the engaged and disengaged retirement planner, so using 15 years of gathering insights we believe we’ve found a way to help close this gap. This is by supporting clients to work on their three retirement readiness indicators; being financially prepared, socially ready, and staying purposefully busy. By focusing on the outcome of their saving, the lived experience in retirement – we see clients engage more and get better outcomes.
This is the idea behind our Better with age campaign, live on national and local radio, social media, and on-demand TV. Watch the TV ad below and see how steady planning, careful preparation and trusted guidance play a role in us maturing into retirement.

Pensions Awareness Week (PAW)
This pension season, we’re delighted again to sponsor Pensions Awareness Week (PAW), from 23 to 27 September. This year’s mission is to drive awareness of pensions and help clients measure their readiness using the NPT (National Pensions Test).
