A record number of people have enrolled into occupational pension schemes, according to new data from the Office of National Statistics (ONS).

UK inflation rose to 2.5% in July, after holding steady at 2.4% in the previous three months.

New figures from the ONS, which point to a slowing of life expectancy increases, are good news for defined benefit pensions schemes, according to AJ Bell.

A new survey has revealed employer pensions were viewed as the safest way to save for retirement.
