A new report published by the Chartered insurance Institute (CII) has estimated the UK retirement savings deficit at £9 trillion.

The report finds that the key drivers for the retirement savings gap include long-term care and debt. It also notes that there is public resistance to saving due to tax complexities, mistrust of products and uncertainty about the future. In addition, the report highlights that there is a lack of public awareness of the importance of retirement planning. 

Steve Webb MP, Minister for Pensions, comments in the report: 

“The next generation will face a different world, with increasing life expectancy, the decline in final salary schemes and lower annuity rates. They are going to have to take greater responsibility for saving for their retirement.”

Alan has been advising individuals and corporate entities for over 15 years, both in the UK and overseas. He set up Warde Graham in 2003 after a successful career in wealth management.



Working closely with clients, Alan puts together holistic financial planning solutions taking time to understand clients’ business, individual and family needs. Many clients are referred by solicitors where tailored advice is a priority, to mitigate inheritance tax and plan for long term care provision. Alan has a strong knowledge and expertise of the full range of Trusts, advising both families and individuals, while keeping up to date with the ever changing legislation.



Alan has three children and is a keen sportsman with an interest in golf, curling and hill walking - the latter to relax from the frustrations of the others.
