  • Summary

  • We start with Smiths Group’s (SMIN) results. The engineering giant’s figures missed expectations, but could new acquisitions and an updated cost-saving plan bring things back? Michael Fahy reports.


    Our Big Read this week is on pensions. We all know what they are, but there’s much more that could be done for savers and perhaps for the wider economy – Alex Hamer, author of the cover feature, gives a rundown of the reforms mentioned in the piece that could boost pots, and breathe new life into the stock market.


    We wrap up by touching on bid takeover activity. From Rightmove (RMV) to Advanced Medical Solutions (AMS), Jennifer Johnson unpacks everything investors need to know from the past week.
