Retirement planning in a volatile market: what you need to know

Protecting your money and mental wellbeing: our expert advice
If you’re struggling with your mental health, finding the motivation to look at your finances can feel like a step too far. But, taking control of your money is a very positive thing.
What is greenwashing and can you spot the harmful practice
It’s been a rather busy few weeks in the world of ‘greenwashing’. Last month, Deutsche Bank was raided for alleged involvement in a trillion-pound greenwashing scandal. According to Sky News, it’s alleged the DWS, the management asset part of the company, sold products worth more than $1 trillion as being more sustainable and environmentally friendly than what they actually were. It’s important to say, the DWS denies the allegations.

The gender pension gap – and how Path can help
A major trades union has exposed a massive gender gap in pension pots; the Prospect Union estimated it to be 38 percent between men and women. That’s more than double the gender pay gap – which is estimated to be 15.4 percent.
Inflation
Food, fuel and gas prices are all soaring, pushing inflation to a 40-year high of 9 percent. It means hard-pressed consumers are having to spend more of their pay packet on groceries, drinks, clothes and other items; more so than they would have done so one year ago.
Why we all need to be aware of ‘carbon bombs’ when considering ethical investments
According to the publication, 195 ‘carbon bombs’, the oil and gas projects which would see a billion tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions emitted over their lifetime, are planned and sixty percent of these have already began.
