The importance of pension planning, how to protect your wealth from inflation and much more besides.

Whilst Covid-19 has retreated from the front pages, it has been replaced by daily news of the Ukraine crisis and the ongoing threat of inflation. It has not been an easy couple of years for investors and those saving for retirement. Because of that, out latest magazine addresses some of those issues.

On page 9, we take a look at the re-emergence of inflation after a three-decade absence. Our article focuses on why now is the time to make sure you protect your wealth.

We also look at the importance of pension planning in several articles. On page 3, we point out why you need to make the most of the pension freedoms to give you the flexibility and future you aspire to.

And if you’re still not sure how much you need to save to live your best life when you retire, our article on page 8 provides some pointers to guide you.

Elsewhere in this edition, we suggest three areas that could help keep investors on track to achieve their financial goals whilst another article asks whether your investments are working as hard as they could be.
