"What's been highlighted in recent times, and through Consumer Duty, is there's an expectation that there's a difference between what you use as a solution in pre-retirement and post-retirement. And I think the regulator is starting to look at this in more detail, and advisers are becoming more aware that there are additional risks in retirement."

This week, Shane O'Brien, Senior Investment Director, Head of Multi-Asset & Macro Investment Specialists and part of the team behind the Recommended Rated Aviva Investor MAF Core Range joined Alex Farlow, Square Mile's Head of Multi-Asset Research to explore:

• The biggest challenges facing the adviser market, from the trend towards low cost solutions to the increasing demand for bespoke solutions.

• The changing expectations and additional risks to consider for retirement strategies and solutions.

• How the team view the world and their outlook moving forward.
