We'll be discussing this at Pensions Conference 2025, with Will Sandbrook from @NESTInsight, Suzy Morrissey from @PPI_Research and SMF Researcher John Asthana Gibson.

@nestpension’s CEO, Ian Cornelius, brought #NestInsight2025 to a close, saying how important financial peace for all of mind is and that a group effort is needed to shape the system.

He thanked all our speakers and partners who have made this possible, to everyone who joined us @asiahouseuk, and @jpmorgan & @BlackRock who support us.

We’ll soon be sharing highlights and footage from the day on our website: nestinsight.org.uk and via our mailing list confirmsubscription.com/h/j/6B86979C74… If you’d like to attend future Nest Insight events, please register your interest by emailing insight@nestcorporation.org.uk

Glad to join the @NESTInsight conference @asiahouseuk today. According to @TheFCA survey, 3 in 5 adults report difficulties with financial matters. We must be more proactive & joined up in our schools & unis in businesses, in training and on the @DWPgovuk website. @TorstenBell

Pleased to be joining the @NESTInsight 2025 Annual conference today in London with a focus this time on wider business and economic benefits of action to address low financial resilience. Exploring several potentially innovative solutions.

Join us online for the launch of new research from our #SelfEmployed savings programme. Register to hear findings from our early exploration of how to help more self-employed people build up pensions and savings through their banking apps: nestinsight.org.uk/events/

For many people, pensions are the biggest financial asset they hold. Some say that this makes them a natural lever to help tackle housing challenges while also boosting engagement with saving. Others argue that pensions should be safeguarded solely for retirement income. 🧵1/3

Our #HousingAndPensions research project, funded by @finan_fairness, will robustly interrogate these arguments and help build a stronger foundation for future policy thinking. 🧵2/3 #FinancialResilience

Read the second article in our blog series examining whether integrating pension assets into the UK housing system could improve #FinancialSecurity for low- to moderate-income households: nestinsight.org.uk/early-learning… 🧵3/3

What has the experience been of employers & providers offering opt-out #PayrollSavings? Our trials saw significant increases in participation rates and found the approach to be inclusive & effective. Check out our implementation guide: nestinsight.org.uk/wp-content/upl… #FinancialInclusion

Is there a role for UK pension assets in the UK housing system? We're embarking on a new project, funded by @finan_fairness, to explore the potential for closer links between #HousingAndPensions to help people build #FinancialSecurity.

Traditionally discussions about #FinancialResilience have been focussed on the benefits to people and households at a microeconomic and social justice level. But we can see that there are also macroeconomic benefits. 🧵1/2

In our latest blogpost, Will Sandbrook & Jo Phillips discuss how a strategy to improve household #FinancialResilience and increase saving should be an essential part of a strategy for economic growth: nestinsight.org.uk/underpinning-g… 🧵2/2

2024 was a busy year at Nest Insight and we were delighted to share some of our standout moments here: nestinsight.org.uk/welcome-to-202…, like ending the year with a roundtable hosted by @BlackRock and Her Majesty Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, in her role as @UNSGSA. 🧵1/2

We expect 2025 to be even busier. In this blogpost, Will Sandbrook looks ahead as we continue to build evidence on workplace #EmergencySavings, explore #FinancialInclusion interventions and how to increase long-term savings for the self-employed: nestinsight.org.uk/welcome-to-2025 🧵2/2

In this online event from our #RealAccounts project, we heard directly from the researchers about the challenges for those living on a #VolatileIncome in a system built for regularity. If you missed it, you can watch the recording here: youtu.be/tkLFZKk3Pr4?si…
