City AM Pension Special Report (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome to City AM’s comprehensive 2026 Pension Special Supplement. With total pension assets of $3.2 trillion, the UK has the world’s fourth-largest retirement market. However, the landscape is swiftly evolving as defined benefit schemes give way to defined contribution structures and self-directed Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs). What’s more, recent changes to the tax and regulatory environment are forcing savers and investors to fundamentally rethink their approach to pensions. The tw
Scotch Whisky’s slightly sore head (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a recent in-depth analysis of the Scotch whisky industry, the FT painted a grim picture of suppressed demand and an ever-rising tide of maturing spirit. Will distilleries and jobs be swept away in another great whisky loch? Tom Bruce-Gardyne believes such talk is way too pessimistic The week-end before last, the FT went big on ‘Scotch whisky’s hangover’ – as it titled a full-page expose of the industry’s current woes. The report by the paper’s Scotland correspondent, Simeon Kerr and its consu

Read excerpt
The Scotch whisky industry faces well-documented challenges. Changing consumer habits and increased competition mean even the most storied brands must adopt new strategies to keep up.

Indeed, “Scotch” was mentioned only twice during the 90-minute presentation and Q&A with chairman and CEO Alexandre Ricard and his
The Highland tourist tax: Is Scotland pricing out whisky tourists? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The latest available data from the Scottish Tourism Economic Activity Monitor in Scotland (STEAM) shows that between 2012 and 2024, visitor numbers to the Highlands increased 82 per cent to 9.4m. Spending increased by a similar amount, to £2.1bn. A large share of that is directly linked to the Scotch whisky sector. You’d think, therefore, Scotland’s policymakers would be doing everything in their power to support and nurture this growth. Sadly, they’re doing just the opposite. The Highland Counc
