It was great to have our CEO was part of the panel at the Standard Life UK Centre for the Future of Retirement’ findings launch in Westminster. The report on the Financial Conduct Authority Targeted Support proposals highlights real consumer anxiety around financial uncertainty. While not pension experts, at Rooted Finance, we know how stress impacts financial decisions. Retirement planning is complex, and current approaches lead to inaction and potential poverty. Targeted support must ease, not add to, financial anxieties and avoid being “sales dressed in support clothing.”
Our CEO Muna commented; “What stood out for me was the reminder that collaboration, not competition, is the foundation of real progress. Sustainable change in the advice and creditor sectors won’t come from working in isolation – it comes from shared values, listening well, and acting with integrity.”
