New pension advice: 17 Jan 15

Sat, 17 Jan 15

The Government last year announced a Guidance Guarantee, promising1 free, impartial2, face-to-face advice to those now having to make choice about what to do with their pension pots from April. It was rebranded this week as Pension Wise, with its own logo. But how just how "expert" will the face-to-face guidance be? The Economic Secretary, Andrea Leadsom MP, tells Money Box what to expect. Wholesale3 gas prices are now a third lower than their peak, but domestic energy bills remain stubbornly high. Are the Big Six's hedging strategies the cause? Energy UK explain why their member companies are not (yet) passing on price reductions. Thursday saw the launch of the much-anticipated National Savings4 & Investments Plus 65 Bonds, paying up to 4% interest. But within minutes the NS&I website had crashed and the telephone helpline was overwhelmed. Are there bonds any left? And if you haven't managed to get hold of any, are there any savings products with comparable rates?
