That\u2019s not good news. In fact, it\u2019s a real worry with short and long-term implications.<\/span><\/h6><h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An entire generation may retire on lower levels of income than the generations before them. Might they feel cheated by the system as a whole and the once-trusted institutions? There may be many people too old to work but too poor to retire, while youngsters are unable to find work because their seniors are still working to generate income? In a \u2018worst case\u2019 scenario perhaps there will be adverse effects on the fabric of society, intergenerational tensions, in extremis, civil unrest?<\/span><\/h6><h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is the world\u2019s pensions crisis the very worst manifestation of the lack of trust in financial services?<\/span><\/h6><h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sector\u2019s reputation and therefore trustworthiness has been damaged by numerous scandals and incidents of malpractice \u2013 perpetrated by rogue individuals ( Maxwell, Madoff et al) or dodgy behaviour in organisations (Equitable Life, Wells Fargo etc.) or entire parts of the market (endowment mortgages, transfers out of Defined Benefit pension schemes, PPI, etc) &#8211; and even complete market collapses that have led to austerity for innocent people.<\/span><\/h6><h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It could be argued that the public have, in effect, been educated to NOT trust financial services through the unremitting\u00a0 drip, drip of untrustworthy behaviour.<\/span><\/h6><h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The vast input of money\u00a0 by Governments ( taxpayers) on regulation, compliance and enforcement have failed to improve confidence in the Financial Services Sector, which\u00a0 behaves no better now than it did twenty, thirty or forty years ago..This is nothing less than a serious, systemic risk for society as a whole.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h6><h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is why TTF is working to improve regulation and enforcement and put the sector in a position of trust and positive societal contribution.<\/span><\/h6><h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those within the Sector, who understand the profound importance of its\u00a0 trustworthiness, who care about achieving good, fair and sustainable outcomes for the people it serves, should strive together to rebuild the trust that\u2019s been lost.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6><h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We should \u2018stand up, not stand by\u2019.<\/span><\/h6><h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can\u2019t make people trust us. All we can do is to collectively behave in a consistently, reliably and predictably trustworthy way. And what can help to do that? Being transparent.<\/span><\/h6><h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transparency is important to rebuilding trust.<\/span><\/h6><h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transparency is both a cultural and a commercial virtue.<\/span><\/h6><h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why transparency can drive transformational change.<\/span><\/h6><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-71df8fa elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"71df8fa\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;shape_divider_top&quot;:&quot;tilt&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shape elementor-shape-top\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-negative=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 100\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n\t<path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" d=\"M0,6V0h1000v100L0,6z\"\/>\n<\/svg>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-39e2553\" data-id=\"39e2553\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-46f2746 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"46f2746\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cc209e2\" data-id=\"cc209e2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82c82fd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"82c82fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Wild variables<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5153fe3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5153fe3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">There are so many 'wild variables' that nobody can be sure how all this will all play out.
