Panacea Adviser launches pension reforms hub

The online community and resource for financial advisers and paraplanners said the aim was to consolidate its tools and resources into one place.

The microsite features news and articles on pension reforms, information on retirement rules, white papers and tools from Aviva and Prudential including annual allowance calculators.

Derek Bradley, chief executive of Panacea Adviser, said: “Panacea has developed this specific Pensions Reform microsite which allows us to provide everything in one place.

“Since the announcement of the pension reforms by the government in the 2014 Budget there has been an overwhelming amount of information for advisers to sift through, and respond to.

“Now with the introduction of the changes from April this year there is a real practical need to be fully up to date with all the developments as and when they happen.”

He added: “The impact for advisers and clients has been considerable, and as future generations of retirees are able to access these freedoms, the industry will continue to evolve and respond with new tools and improved product suites.

“Having this microsite gives advisers a first port of call to see how this shifting market is developing and how this translates on a practical level to client wants and needs.

“With the support of our Panacea partners we are committed to ensuring advisers who use the microsite will have everything they, and their clients, need when it comes to securing the right options for their retirement lives.”
