The Government’s consultation on the proposed Pensions Dashboard has concluded and the report, published yesterday, pledged primary legislation to make it a reality.

The launch of the pensions dashboard could spark an increase in demand for advice as savers look to consolidate their pots, according to platform provider Zurich.

The CISI’s Financial Planning and wealth management members have responded positively to Government plans to introduce a pensions dashboard, but are worried about the costs.

The Government has published surprise plans today to open the door for commercial providers to offer enhanced Pensions Dashboards to pension savers.
