The final Luminary in-person event of the year is underway here in London! We’ve heard from our Head of Public Policy, Rachel Vahey as she explored the Government’s strategies on pensions and saving, and what these mean for the industry, advisers, and their clients saving for later life. 📝 Portfolio Manager from Fidelity International, Caroline Shaw now takes to the stage to make sense of the markets so far in 2025, and discusses how exposure to different asset classes can help. #AJBellLuminary

In London today presenting at #AJBellLuninary I’m covering the government’s desire to drive pension investment in UK plc, and what this means for advisers and clients. Great location and epic group of inspiring women (and men). My favourite day of the year. @Investcentre

Hi Ian. The average men's ISA (including cash and S&S) is worth £3,000 more than the average women's (HMRC data). Multiplied up that's £6.6bn. Hope that helps.

Had a good day in London yesterday. Started with breakfast at House of Lords discussing @AJBMoneyMatters research on ISA investment gap. And ended watching Bridget Jones.
