While inflation has eased from recent highs, many households are still struggling to make ends meet. Our research shows that 41% of UK adults feel less financially secure than they did a year ago, and only 22% say they are “very confident” their family would be financially secure if something unexpected happened¹. It’s a reminder of just how many people are only one event away from real financial hardship.

Through an election campaign, vote, Budget and the Chancellors first Mansion House announcement in November, the political landscape for UK advisers and insurers has certainly changed since this time last year.
