Plans for a “single clear definition of financial advice” were outlined in the Budget and the Financial Advice Market Review and it’s clear that steps will now be taken to achieve this aim, potentially a pivotal moment for the financial advice sector.

TISA, the financial services association, has confirmed plans to help the industry meet the challenge set out in the Financial Advice Market Review final report and in the Budget to make the pensions dashboard a reality.

The Government’s latest Budget is set to be announced this afternoon, with reports this morning that the Money Advice Service could face the chop.

Nearly a fifth of consumers may be planning to withdraw cash from pensions to drip-feed it into an ISA once they turn 55, according to new data.
