US. Trump could open up your 401(k) to private equity. Why market experts say it’s a bad idea.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that Trump is expected to sign an executive order in the coming days allowing 401(k) plans to invest their assets in private equity. It's a proposal that's raising red flags among some investment experts, who say a 401(k) should typically be a simple and relatively low-risk investment vehicle. Private equity investments, meanwhile, are often concentrated in a small number of portfolio companies, illiquid, and carry valuations that can be difficult to measure day-to-day....

Gobierno cubano aprueba un incremento de pensiones a partir de septiembre

Aunque el Gobierno anunció un aumento a partir de septiembre, la medida ni por asomo garantiza una vida digna a los jubilados, cuyas pensiones seguirán siendo insuficientes incluso con el alza. El primer ministro cubano, Manuel Marrero Cruz, anunció este miércoles ante la Asamblea Nacional del Poder Popular que a partir de septiembre se implementará un incremento de pensiones para los jubilados que actualmente reciben hasta 4,000 pesos mensuales, como parte de una medida parcial que pretende –y difícilmente logre–...

UK. New idea to tax inherited pensions worth £90k-plus floated – instead of imposing inheritance tax

The Government is being urged to slap income tax on inherited pensions worth £90,000-plus instead of making them liable for inheritance tax. Another option is to impose a tax charge at death on unspent pensions worth £150,000, £200,000 or £250,000, according to a finance industry group calling for a radical rethink of inheritance tax changes due in two years' time. Just levying income tax or charges on inherited pensions direct would reduce the burden on grieving families yet still rake in...

Should people keep working until later in life?

Working until later in life can help build up a pension, but some people are counting the days until retirement. Data seems to suggest that a 70-year-old in 2022 had the same cognitive function as a 53-year-old back in 2000. It also pointed to improved physical health as a reason why fit and healthy people should be encouraged to work into their 70s. This would go some way towards addressing the ratio of working people to retirees, which has become increasingly...
