ICR061_ Property as a pension, our ageing population & moving everything to cash

ICR061: Property as a pension, our ageing population & moving everything to cash

15/01/2016 Posted by Martin Bamford Podcast No Comments

 

In this episode of the Informed Choice Podcast, Martin answers a listener question about moving the entire value of her pension pot to cash ahead of retirement.

He takes a look at a new survey from Barings which suggests property is growing in popularity as a retirement income option.

And he talks about an open letter from 40 charities to Prime Minister David Cameron calling on the government to take more seriously the issue of our ageing population.

There is also a roundup of the latest personal finance and investing news.

Main topics

How are you planning to fund your retirement?

New research from Baring Asset Management, around one in twelve people – the equivalent of 3 million people – plan to sell their primary residence to fund their retirement.

How can we ensure the NHS and social care system can handle an ageing population.

Nearly a quarter of the population will be over age 65 within the next 20 years.

Charities have written an open letter to prime minister David Cameron urging him to establish an independent commission to review the NHS and social care system, making sure it is fit for ageing population.
