Rachel Dalton looks at the ABI's annuity rate window

Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) chairman John Griffith-Jones has warned insurers to learn the lessons of the banking crisis and work harder to regain consumers' trust.

The asset management industry must regain consumers' trust and boost pension saving or risk a financial crisis even worse than the 2008 crash, the Investment Management Association (IMA) says.

Consumers' knowledge of annuity options is good but there is "plenty of room for improvement" following the launch of the Association of British Insurers' (ABI) annuity code, the organisation says.

The mandatory code of conduct on retirement choices for all Association of British Insurers (ABI) members, set to be enforced from 1 March, must go further to better help consumers, annuity campaigners have said.
