Nucleus has launched a CPD learning zone for advisers.

The zone will offer advisers and paraplanners access to CII-certified learning resources across its propositions, including Nucleus Wrap, James Hay and Curtis Banks. It will also provide on-demand webinars, technical modules and Autumn Budget updates, with CPD certificates issued upon completion. The learning zone can be accessed through Nucleus’ website via its 'Illuminate Tech' subsection. Nucleus marketing director, Stephen Wynne-Jones, said the platform “consolidates all the fantastic resources” created by Nucleus’ technical experts to support advisers’ development. Nucleus technical services director, Andrew Tully, added: “CPD is important to ensure advisers stay up to date in an ever-changing environment. As it's likely many regulatory changes are on the near horizon, our new learning zone makes it even easier for advisers to get up to speed on key topics aprovide nd feedback on what they would like to learn more about, all while working towards their CPD goals.”

LifeSight has hit £1bn in drawdown assets.

LifeSight’s drawdown facility has surpassed £1bn in assets, with 7,500 members choosing the WTW master trust’s flexible retirement solution. The scheme, which manages £24bn for 430,000 members, said the milestone reflects growing confidence among members approaching retirement. LifeSight UK head, Jelena Croad, said the development demonstrates members’ trust in its investment expertise, adding that upcoming government requirements for ‘guided retirement’ solutions will spur further innovation across the industry. “The industry is already making positive changes in this space, with options like guided drawdown and later life annuities coming to the fore,” she added.

PASA has published new dashboards guidance.

The new guidance, titled 'Use of Warnings and Unavailable Codes', aims to support trustees, scheme managers and providers in applying consistent approaches to dashboard data when accurate values cannot be displayed immediately. It was developed by the PASA dashboards working group, in consultation with the Pensions Dashboards Programme (PDP) and the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS). PASA dashboards working group chair, Maurice Titley, said clear guidance was needed to avoid “inconsistent saver experiences and confusion”, while sub-group chair, Geraldine Brassett, said the toolkit provides practical examples of good practice to “put the saver experience first”.
