| 10 May 2019 | United Kingdom | Administration, Funding and Minimum Funding Requirement |
| AJ Bell has produced research that compares the effects of the two extremes in pension drawdown charges cited by the FCA Retirement Outcomes Review final report, 0.4% at the lowest and 1.6% at the highest. AJ Bell's analysis found that a person with a £100,000 pension pot at age 65 who starts withdrawing £5,000 a year from their fund, and increases that each year in line with inflation, would receive £176,722 of income from their pot and their fund would last until the age of 92, based on the assumption of a 5% annual investment return and a 0.4% charge. By comparison if the charge were 1.6%, the individual would receive £144,225 in income and the fund would have run dry by the time they reached the age of 88.

| Research conducted by AJ Bell of 400 LISA customers has found that 56% are using the product to save for retirement, while about a third are saving for their first home. The survey also found that concerns about the impact of the LISA on auto-enrolment opt-outs are unfounded, with 78% of respondents saying that they are also saving into their workplace pension alongside their LISA, and only 3% of those not contributing to a workplace pension stating that they had opted-out to fund their LISA.

| Research conducted by FWD on behalf of AJ Bell has revealed how the £17.5bn that has been flexibly withdrawn since the introduction of pension freedoms in 2015 has been used. The research found that a quarter of the total withdrawn has been spent on day-to-day living expenses, while £2.3bn has been used for the purchase of luxury items such as holidays, cars and home improvements.

| 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.

| According to research from AJ Bell, just 7% of adults with a personal pension are aware that their pension provider has discretion over who will receive their death benefits and just 4% can correctly identify how they would be taxed. Half of the respondents (51%) assumed their pension would automatically go to the person they have nominated as the beneficiary, whilst 14% thought it would form part of their estate and 25% said they did not know.

| 25 Oct 2017 | United Kingdom | Annuities and Income Drawdown, Pension Reform |

| 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 | ||
| 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.

| New analysis by AJ Bell has compared the outcome of investing £100,000 via a pension and buy-to-let property over a 20-year period.
