Pension expert Hannah Edwards live online on Wednesday October 1st at 17:00 to answer your pension queries

Do you have a personal pension? Are you one of the eight million who have contracted out of S2P (or SERPS as it used to be known) over the past twenty years? If the answers are yes then you should be marking October 1st in your diary.

This is the day the government will give you the freedom to take greater control over planning for your retirement.

Until now there have been very strict rules on where you can invest these Protected Rights monies. Billions of pounds have been invested in poorly performing managed funds. Now the government has decided to change the rules, individuals will have a much greater choice of where to invest their money including Unit Trusts, Investment Trusts and Commercial Property.
