Free pension seminar for professionals in Cambridge

Leading specialist pension consultancy and retirement wealth manager, Mattioli Woods plc, is hosting a free seminar on Thursday 1 December at the Cambridge Menzies Hotel aimed at local accountants and solicitors.
Massive global financial instability is once again snatching the headlines, creating panic in financial markets and causing grave concern for individuals saving for retirement and close to retirement age.

This volatility in markets is likely to be here for some time to come and in managing pension and personal assets it is vital to keep capital largely secure and generate income, both for retirement needs and as a source of investment return.

Doug Ryan, Pension Consultant at Mattioli Woods commented:

“We believe this is a perfect opportunity for professionals in the Cambridge area to be updated on fundamental pension issues, which will affect their clients. There are many changes taking place in the pension landscape, such as the reduction in the lifetime allowance and the employer compulsory pension, which will have an impact on many businesses”.

The Cambridge seminar will focus on the management of assets in volatile times; the changes in legislation affecting pensions; business planning, and the impending auto-enrolment. It will also demonstrate the ways to mitigate risk and still gain exposure to markets and large, mega-cap corporates.

Roger Fletcher a local accountant based in Fulbourn who attended a previous Mattioli Woods seminar added; “A very useful summary of the present position of pension legislation and some very good ideas as to how to use schemes efficiently and effectively.”
