Ralph Turner's Pensions Blog: July 2014
http://ralphpensions.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 29 July 2014. The idea of a Pensions Passport is not new, but its time has come. To have one location that holds all your pension information from the multiple employers you have worked for, all in the same format and all readily accessible is something that can be done with today's technology- and should be done. It should hold all the State pension data together with any and every pension from other sources -all held in the same way, in recognisably the same format. Wednesday, 16 July 2014.

Ralph Turner's Pensions Blog: Common Sense and Efficiency
http://ralphpensions.blogspot.com/2015/02/common-sense-and-efficiency.html
Wednesday, 25 February 2015. Common Sense and Efficiency. The latest research from Alliance Bernstein. Carries no surprises. It says that the consumer expects a common sense approaches to investment- a feeling of control but without certainty of outcome. A combination of good governance and a sensible default fund is expected. But consumer common sense also says it’s okay to expect a spread of outcomes at retirement. Will we get the detail in time? Or has election fever already affected output? The curse...

Ralph Turner's Pensions Blog: April 2015
http://ralphpensions.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 21 April 2015. Well done to Louise Farrand of Pensions Insight for her blog. On pension phrases she would ban. I agree ‘On-Boarding’ is not a verb and never should be! It got me thinking…. How do non-pension people understand the jargon we throw at them? Maybe they don’t. Here’s my own selection of pension phrases that may have very different meanings for the population at large. There’s a few you may have to think about first. Any more suggestions? Abatement – A posh flat. QROPS – Wheat. The co...

What Men Should Know. Clothes He Wants a Woman to Wear. February 26, 2013. By Ali Leila Images, Flickr.com. I agree that when it comes to themselves men can often be a bit slapdash. Perhaps even sloppy . A shower, shave, brush our teeth, chuck on a pair jeans and that’s the job done in less than 20 mins! That’s how it works for most situations. Okay some guys do take longer, some girls less, but generally speaking this is how us guys roll. You didn’t need me to point this one out I know , but it...

Ralph Turner's Pensions Blog: A Vote For The Pensions Manager
http://ralphpensions.blogspot.com/2015/02/a-vote-for-pensions-manager.html
Friday, 6 February 2015. A Vote For The Pensions Manager. Has started this year’s search for Pensions Personality of the Year. Was there ever a greater oxymoron? Pensions and personality. Not usually held in the same sentence. And yet…. When I started in pensions 38 years ago (first job Clerical, Medical and General Documentation Clerk- only staying for a short while to bring in some money. Not interested in pensions….), pensions really was a bit of a backwater. How times have changed. A Vote For The Pen...
