There are now less than 30 months to the advent of automatic enrolment.

New work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith must take a "fresh" look at auto-enrolment and not pre-suppose pensions policy is "done and dusted" because of the launch of Nest, Aegon's Rachel Vahey says.

The next government must halt the ‘salami slicing' of pensions tax relief within 100 days of taking power or risk alienating savers, Aegon says.

Actuaries have slammed the government's plan to retain higher-rate tax relief restrictions on pension contributions for those earning more than £130,000 without change.

The expected charging structure for the National Employment Savings Trust has received a mixed reaction.

Aegon Asset Management is to launch a property fund which aims to give scheme investors returns through the active management of a portfolio of direct UK holdings.
