TRUSTNET magazine W IE V E R P R E B M NOVE MOVING THE GOALPOSTS A common theme in the world of investing is that you never know what is just around the corner. This is even more pertinent when you retire, as your earning power will be dramatically reduced and you may already be locked into a pension plan. The next issue of Trustnet Magazine will look at the options available to you if your circumstances change significantly after you have stopped working – and what you can do to make sure you are prepared for the worst-case scenario. This is all academic for a significant proportion of the UK population, however, who even after the introduction of the autoenrolment scheme, still don’t have a pension. We will look at why many people, despite repeated warnings from experts, still aren’t willing to invest their money in this way. Away from the central theme of this issue, we will look at the IA Europe sector – an area of the market that many fund managers had tipped to do well at the start of this year, but that has flattered to deceive since then.
