@nestpension’s CEO, Ian Cornelius, brought #NestInsight2025 to a close, saying how important financial peace for all of mind is and that a group effort is needed to shape the system.

He thanked all our speakers and partners who have made this possible, to everyone who joined us @asiahouseuk, and @jpmorgan & @BlackRock who support us.

@helen_undy of @mmhpi gave an insightful keynote speech at #NestInsight2025 on how people with mental health problems have less financial resilience, and explored what macro-economic benefits there could be to breaking that link.

Glad to join the @NESTInsight conference @asiahouseuk today. According to @TheFCA survey, 3 in 5 adults report difficulties with financial matters. We must be more proactive & joined up in our schools & unis in businesses, in training and on the @DWPgovuk website. @TorstenBell

Read the second article in our blog series examining whether integrating pension assets into the UK housing system could improve #FinancialSecurity for low- to moderate-income households: https://t.co/UyFRfOqrcj 🧵3/3

[Nest Insight @NESTInsight]

For many people, pensions are the biggest financial asset they hold. Some say that this makes them a natural lever to help tackle housing challenges while also boosting engagement with saving. Others argue that pensions should be safeguarded solely for retirement income. 🧵1/3

[Nest Insight @NESTInsight]

Our #HousingAndPensions research project, funded by @finan_fairness, will robustly interrogate these arguments and help build a stronger foundation for future policy thinking. 🧵2/3 #FinancialResilience

[Nest Insight @NESTInsight]

What has the experience been of employers & providers offering opt-out #PayrollSavings? Our trials saw significant increases in participation rates and found the approach to be inclusive & effective. Check out our implementation guide: https://t.co/jD21ehhPhN #FinancialInclusion

[Nest Insight @NESTInsight]

Is there a role for UK pension assets in the UK housing system? We're embarking on a new project, funded by @finan_fairness, to explore the potential for closer links between #HousingAndPensions to help people build #FinancialSecurity.

January is a long month, especially when you're waiting to be paid. Recently, @NestInsight's Jo Phillips spoke to @PayrollPodcast about how the 'payslip moment' can be a catalyst for broader #FinancialWellbeing.
Listen to the episode: https://t.co/15obo0c3on #PayrollSavings

[Nest Insight @NESTInsight]

In our latest blogpost, Will Sandbrook & Jo Phillips discuss how a strategy to improve household #FinancialResilience and increase saving should be an essential part of a strategy for economic growth: https://t.co/SwXevmWp3I 🧵2/2

[Nest Insight @NESTInsight]

Traditionally discussions about #FinancialResilience have been focussed on the benefits to people and households at a microeconomic and social justice level. But we can see that there are also macroeconomic benefits. 🧵1/2

[Nest Insight @NESTInsight]

We expect 2025 to be even busier. In this blogpost, Will Sandbrook looks ahead as we continue to build evidence on workplace #EmergencySavings, explore #FinancialInclusion interventions and how to increase long-term savings for the self-employed: https://t.co/sflXddusn3 🧵2/2
