It's probably true!

I could see this trend 15/20 years ago and that's why we took a huge risk and designed our own personal pension investment scheme... Pension plans in my era always looked like a bad idea to me with almost no guarantees of a final figure as a self employed person.

To this day, I have absolutely no idea how much to expect one day from the money I did pay into private and gov pensions..My guesstimate is peanuts probably.
