Hi folks and welcome to the Meaningful Money Podcast season 11 episode 8.

Let's go. This is the podcast dedicated to helping you put your finances in order.

My name is Pete Matthew and I'm going to share with you everything you need to know

and everything you need to do to secure your financial future.

I'm here to help you make sense of money.

Here we are once again great to have you with me. We're you know motoring through

our season on pensions the pensions masterclass and last week we covered the time-honored

method of taking an income from your accumulated pension funds by buying an

annuity and as I said last week I'm convinced that they still have their place, but there is no denying

that unsecured income, the kind of alternative to annuities, is now a far more popular way of taking money out of your

pensions so we need to look at what that actually means in practice so that's where

we're going today after the main body of the show give you a quick update on

the book look at most recent reviews that have been left,

announced what we're going to be talking about next time.

Usual drill, but before all that, remember, this podcast is brought to you with the help of my

friends at 7 Investment Management.

Now they specialize in multi- multi asset investing, something I talk

about a lot here and I reckon that should form the core of most people's investment portfolio,

whether that's in their company pension or their ICER or whatever. Seven A.M. have been helping me out on meaningful money here for ages since the spring of 2011

and I'm super grateful to them for helping me out.

Just agreed for another year's support, which is just amazing.

So that will be a total of eight years,
