Pension freedoms, buying overseas stocks and the People's Trust collapse
October 13, 2017

This week the team glimpses inside a reader's portfolio. How realistic is her goal of a £13,000 income in retirement is and how could she improve. They are joined by Richard Parkin, head of retirement policy at Fidelity, who also looks at the biggest risks pensioners face following pension freedoms.

The team also talks overseas shares and how to buy them. Personal finance writer Emma Agyemang looks at the risks and rewards of holding exciting overseas stocks and the cheapest brokers to use.

The People's Trust dream appears to be over. The trust launched by former Investment Association head Daniel Godfrey failed to raise enough money to list this week. The team looks at why it didn't make the grade.
