BLACKTOWER VIEW – Keith Littlewood in Murcia and Costa Cálida

New beginnings

Most commonly, Keith’s clients are new retirees who are between 60 and 65. Often Keith and his new clients sit down and discuss things over a glass of wine or a cup of coffee in the comfort of a home or café environment rather than in an office. After all, many of his clients are retirees who have just escaped offices and workplaces, what better than to enjoy your financial planning in a relaxed atmosphere.

Every new client relationship begins with a no-obligation conversation and this suits Keith just fine; he loves his job and he loves talking to people.

Keith’s clients all have one thing in common: they wish to get most out of their money so that they can enjoy their retirement to the greatest degree possible. As an international financial adviser and expat, Keith brings a uniquely informed perspective to help clients organise their investments and tax affairs.

Keith’s background in financial services encompasses a 25 year plus career working for firms such as Natwest, RBS and Royal London.

Auto-Enrolment increases number of savers, but are they saving enough?

Piggy bankStatistics from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) have shown that a record number of savers are now members of workplace pension schemes.

The figures show that the proportion of employees who are contributing to a company pension has risen significantly in the five years since Auto-Enrolment (AE) began.

AE was introduced in 2012 and makes it compulsory for employers to automatically enrol all eligible employees into a pension scheme unless the employee actively opts out. An employee is eligible for AE if they are aged between 22 and the state pension age and have a salary of more than £10,000.

In 2012, prior to AE, 47 per cent of UK employees were enrolled on a company pension scheme. This figure has now risen to 73 per cent in 2017. In other words, there are over 9.5 million more people saving for their retirement than there were five years ago, and it’s mainly thanks to AE.
