Three out of four have confidence in pension investments, survey says

THREE out of four adults believe now is a good time to invest in a pension according to the results of a survey released yesterday.

The survey, conducted by Standard Life, gauges the confidence of 1,000 adults in the performance of shares and pensions in the current climate of market uncertainty.

After recent events on international stock markets it is unsurprising that confidence in shares has dropped with 46% of respondents feeling that now is a bad time to invest in shares, compared to a figure of 22% in June of this year.
