  • Why protection policies are set to play a bigger role in client conversations.
  • Practical insights and strategies from today’s guest – pensions expert Clare Moffat, Head of Technical and Marketing compliance at Royal London.

Clare joins hosts Sue and Jenny to break down what advisers need to know and how they can best support their clients through these changes.
