Hidden costs and charges
The tip of the iceberg - the hidden costs and charges of pension, investments and savings schemes.
You may not have heard of some of them; transaction charges, custody charges, collateral management costs, but these hidden pensions costs can have a real effect on your savings over the years.
It's been estimated that charges - including a notional 1% which are hidden - could destroy a quarter of the value of a pension over 30 years.
Why, when they matter so much, is it so hard to get the full picture and what can you do about it?
