The demographic and economic effects of an ageing population, looking for long term savings, care and pensions make this a market with many attractions. Capturing this, however, is not always easy.

Many existing players continue to wrestle with legacy investments in systems and processes whilst trying to create profitable new world developments in distribution such as Self Invested Personal Premiums (SIPPs), Wraps and an edge in the strong IFA market.
