THE TICKING “RES NON DOM” TIME BOMB
The new non-domicile rules are now in force and take retroactive effect from April 2017. The latest sets of provisions for non-dom clients are complex. With fears of deterring global investors and an imminent brain drain it is crucial that wealth advisers are ensuring that clients are fully aware of the impact of this legislation and how to ensure they are compliant.

The future of pensions
Few prepare for the unexpected but experience shows perhaps we should... Yesterday’s promises are increasingly expensive: the National Insurance Fund is predicted to breach its funding solution by 2032, but reforms have tended to be piecemeal and lacking in a clearly agreed long term objective. Customer experience in current retirement solutions is neither easy nor convenient and does not engage customers or equip them to make informed decisions. From buy outs and longevity, to member options and super funds, we look at how the pension landscape is changing. Technology in the retirement industry lags behind other sectors and the pressure to keep up with ongoing regulatory change has constrained innovation to create more affordable and sustainable solutions. What will pensions and savings policy look like for future generations? Will pensions even exist? “Doing nothing” is no longer an option and eventual collapse is inevitable without major reform.* *(Source: EY report – The future of retirement – A vision for pensions delivery.)
