Financial Times Guide to Pensions and Wealth in Retirement Summary

Financial Times Guide to Pensions and Wealth in Retirement by John Greenwood

"At a time when more and more consumers are unlikely to have the retirement of their dreams, this book gives straightforward, clear strategies to help the reader improve their chances of at least making the right decisions"

Nick Cann, chief executive, Institute of Financial Planning

'This book deals comprehensively with the complexities of UK pensions, both state and private and welcome addition for a very confused public. The book could significantly help people provide more effectively for their retirement and cope with the difficulties of pension planning from a far better informed perspective.''

Dr Ros Altmann, campaigner, consultant and former Government adviser on pension policy

"John Greenwood is one of the UK's best journalists writing on pensions. Simple, clear and concise; this book tells you everything you need to know about retirement planning. If they had been using this book to teach about pensions at school then we wouldn't have a pensions crisis now."

Tom McPhail, head of pensions research, Hargreaves Lansdown
