"Pension Savings: The Real Return" was mentioned in the Money column of BT and LoveMoney.
Both articles compare the conclusions drawn in a new report by Mercer and the Australian Centre for Financial Studies, in which the UK's pensions are shown as the ninth best in the world, against BETTER FINANCE's research which shows that "Britain is actually one of the worst places in Europe to have a pension".
Charges and comparatively higher inflation are partly to blame for Britain's poor performance. Indeed, the authors said they were "surprised" by the lack of transparency around what people are charged for their pension.
