Is the traditional workplace pension industry failing savers?

Recent PLSA research shows that 53% of British workers are on track for an ‘inadequate’ retirement income, and 49% of the UK's working age population have primary school level numeracy skills. As a result, understanding pension options is difficult for many.

So what is the pension industry doing to help people? Often, simply the wrong things

• Annual benefit statements have a 1% open rate! This is the main piece of information sent by most providers.
• Pension providers continue to use terminology that people just do not understand. Complexity is the enemy of clarity.
• Members simply do not know what ‘good’ in retirement looks like.
