Welcome to the July/August 2023 Smart Money Newsletter.

In our latest Smart Money newsletter we are focusing on the topic of retirement. A comfortable retirement is a common financial goal and contributing to a pension is essential to achieving it. For some, retirement may seem distant but by planning ahead and making smart decisions about your savings, you can ensure a stable and enjoyable retirement.

Other topics in this edition include:

  • How the increase in minimum pension age may affect your retirement planning
  • Maximising your investments in your 50s
  • The gender pension gap issue
