A Populus poll of 2,000 people found 31% were more worried about their retirement income after the Brexit vote.

Forty per cent admitted that they did not consider the implications to their pension when voting and half of those who voted to remain in the EU voiced concerns about their pension. About 1 in 8 (15%) leave voters stated their concerns around pensions.

The survey, carried out for robo-adviser Wealth Wizards, also showed that 38% had no idea how well diversified their pensions are and 31% said it was their employer’s responsibility to provide them with advice following the result.

When asked whether they would have voted differently had they considered the implications for their pension, 11% said that they would.

Forty per cent said that they would like their employer to provide them with access to expert independent advice for their pension.

Andrew Firth, CEO of Wealth Wizards, said: “Brexit has brought pensions to the forefront and there is an opportunity for employers, who haven’t already, to ensure that their employees receive pension advice.

“Offering digital advice is a low-cost option for organisations, providing a transparent solution to their staff, which in turn will put people’s minds at rest and provide some certainty during a time of change.”
