• Over the weekend we saw UBS agree to acquire Credit Suisse, closing the deal for $3.25 billion or 0.76 francs per share.
• What does abolishing the pensions lifetime allowance (LTA) mean for somebody who has the UK pension then?
• What do you think has driven the UK government to make this decision?
• The UK government have also made an effort to encourage people to save more into their pensions, what have they done?
• What should somebody be doing about these changes on the UK pension if anything?
• There was useful confirmation of some changes to capital gains tax in relation to the transfer of assets on the break-up of marriage or civil partnership.
  

That's it from me this week, a big thanks for joining and as always this podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a personal recommendation. If you’re unsure what’s right for you, you should seek advice. Past performance isn’t a guide to the future, and investments rise and fall in value so you could get back less that you invest.
