Podcast #38 – Why retirement income advice needs a serious rethink – With 7IM’s Verona Kenny

Recent research by 7IM has highlighted some of the underlying problems which advisers and providers must tackle if we are to provide the kind of retirement solutions that people really need. 

In this week’s IFA Talk Podcast Sue and Brandon are talking to Verona Kenny, Managing Director, Intermediary, at 7IM  – someone who will be well known to many IFA Magazine readers. 

Their conversation is focused on the detail of the research as well as whether regulatory developments such as Consumer Duty might make a difference – especially when it comes to the gender divide in retirement planning.  As Verona candidly says, “Continuing to fail advisers and their clients by not innovating in this area is simply not an option.”
