Seven Investment Management has launched a new Retirement Planning Service which integrates with its cashflow app.

The latest research from the Association of Investment Companies, the trade body for investment trusts and investment companies, has revealed that purchases of investment companies by advisers and wealth managers on adviser platforms surged to a record level of £745m in the first nine months of 2017.

Seven Investment Management is to launch a series of regional adviser roadshows entitled: 'The Retirement Challenge', visiting 12 locations throughout the UK in January and February.

Most people severely underestimate how much they need to save for retirement, according to a new study by platform and fund manager Seven Investment Management (7IM).
