| 20 Mar 2018 | United Kingdom | Annuities and Income Drawdown, Equality |
| According to research published by AJ Bell, a gender gap exists in the value of personal pension savings and awareness of the pension freedoms. The research found that on average, men have personal pension savings worth £143,000, compared to just £59,000 for women. It also identified that men are more likely to feel in control of their retirement income and have greater awareness of issues such as pension freedoms, while women are more likely to worry about paying for long term care and having income left from their pension to pass on to family members.

| 16 Mar 2017 | United Kingdom | Lifetime ISA, Investment - Property, Automatic Enrolment |
| According to analysis from AJ Bell, saving into a Lifetime ISA could be an option for people saving for their retirement, although only if auto-enrolment is not an option. Assuming a starting age of 25 and an annual growth rate of 5%, for basic rate tax payers reaching 65 years old, the Government LISA bonus of 25% will produce a fund value of £126,840.

| 1% cap on early exit penalties will unshackle £10bn of pension investments | ||
| 1% cap on early exit penalties will unshackle £10bn of pension investments | ||
| AJ Bell | ||
| 6 Feb 2017 | United Kingdom | Transfers, Advisers, Administration |
| Analysis from AJ Bell indicates that a 1% cap on early exit penalties coming into force in April could release over £20bn in pension savings. Data used in the analysis suggests that currently £10.6bn of pension savings incur an exit penalty of 1% or more and £6.2bn have an exit penalty of 2% or above. AJ Bell suggests that the rate of these penalties may have been a barrier for savers seeking to switch to a lower cost pension plan and that the implementation of the 1% cap could make a significant difference to savers who are currently trapped in poor value pension contracts.
