Ex-pensions minister Steve Webb on big retirement issues, and the impact on markets from the Brexit trade deal, new lockdown measures and the Georgia runoff election

This week’s podcast features a chat with Steve Webb and Dan Mikulskis from Lane, Clark & Peacock about some of the big issues facing people in retirement today. They talk about changes to the way pensions are accessed, making sure your pension pot isn’t depleted too quickly, and finding decent sources of income.

Elsewhere on this week’s show, Dan weighs up the impact of some big news over the past fortnight that has impacted stocks and shares around the world. He examines the impact on the market of the Brexit trade deal, why new lockdown restrictions haven’t troubled investors, and why changes to the US political backdrop have had a sudden impact on tech stocks and bond yields.
