Blacktower Wins Award for Marketing Excellence

After a year in which we reached a great many milestones for the Group, we are delighted to announce that Blacktower Financial Management are the winners of the International Adviser Best Practice Award for Marketing Excellence in Europe. 

Of the accreditation, Group Managing Director, Gavin Pluck said: 

‘Let us not forget that while many entered survival mode in 2020, 2021 has not been the return to normality for which we hoped. As a business and as people, we have dealt with the aftershocks of one of the most turbulent years our industry has faced and so to be recognised as Europe’s leader of Marketing in our industry is a recognition of which we are enormously proud. 

Our objective is simple – to add value to every person’s interaction with the brand and so Best Practice in this area is non-negotiable for us. During a time in which there is an overflow of alarming and contradictory advice available in an instant, our duty has been for 35 years and ever will be, to give sound, rational and regulatory watertight information. 

I would like to personally congratulate all those involved in achieving this award on such a fantastic accomplishment.’

Will I outlive my retirement savings?

Golden Piggy BankThe Office for National Statistics puts UK life expectancy at 79.4 years for men and 83.1 years for women. Today, a 65-year-old man can expect to live for 18.5 more years, while a woman would typically have 21 more years left in her. Of course, life expectancies are averages – so this won’t hold true for everyone. Your lifestyle, diet, genetic make-up and wealth could all affect how long you will actually live for, with luck also playing a big role. Obviously, living a longer life is a good thing in theory, but from a retirement savings perspective, it can pose a real challenge. In fact, 60% of baby boomers admitted in a recent Allianz study that they’re more fearful of outliving their savings than of dying. This sentiment is shared by 43% of workers surveyed by Transamerica, who say that outliving their savings is their greatest retirement-related fear.
