Government plans to increase the age that savers can first access their pensions from 55 to 57 risk creating a “retirement lottery”, according to investment platform AJ Bell.

Advised net inflows held steady at £0.9bn for investment platform AJ Bell for the quarter ending 31 March, as advised customers rose 14%.

Platform and SIPP provider AJ Bell has added the Aquis Stock Exchange (AQSE) to its online trading platform to expand the investment choices available for clients. 

Baroness Helena Morrissey, the chairman-elect of AJ Bell, has been criticised in the national press for saying on her social media that the UK is not currently in the midst of a pandemic.
