Retirement Nation 2012

Against a backdrop of people not only living longer but also having higher expectations of what retirement means to them, it’s crucial we continue to adapt and innovate to provide our customers with financial solutions that suit their needs.

To help do that effectively, every year we commission extensive research with the older generation. We do so because it provides a welcome opportunity to really listen to people, to gather invaluable food for thought and to consider how we – and others – might take things forward.

As we see the world around us continuing to change, taking the time out to research keeps us on our toes. We hear how people feel about their retirement, the society they live in and the implications of their financial position.

Covering the whole retirement picture, you’ll find challenging thoughts and at least a glimpse of you or your future self in here somewhere, alongside some surprising facts and figures.

It might even help you to think differently about retirement.

We hope you enjoy this year’s report, please do let us know.
