Retirement income market data 2025/26
Why this matters
The document is an FCA data publication presenting statistics on pension plans accessed, drawdown, annuity purchases, advice use and DB-to-DC transfers for 2025/26. It imposes no obligations and sets no deadlines, so urgency is null. It concerns pension and annuity providers and advice-related data, so Insurance & Pensions is the sector. Reporting & Disclosure fits because the data comes from firms' regulatory returns (REP015/REP016), and the text notes a Table 19a correction and a Table 10 reporting issue. Wealth Manager is included because the data covers regulated advice on retirement products.
