“I’m leaving Fidelity amicably on 31 July for my next challenge,” Higham said in Twitter post.
In a statement on his website the pensions expert said: “After a thoroughly enjoyable 18 months as Fidelity’s main retirement spokesperson I have decided that now is the right time to seek a new challenge.”
Higham joined Fidelity Worldwide Investment when it acquired Annuity Direct, an independent financial advisory service, in October 2013.
“I’m very grateful to Fidelity for all their efforts to promote good retirement decision making and I wish them well in the future,” he said.
Richard Parkin, head of retirement at Fidelity Worldwide Investment said Higham had contributed significantly the investment company’s retirement offering with his wealth of knowledge and experience in the pensions sphere.
“Fidelity’s retirement business remains unaffected by his departure. Every day we are helping more customers make the most of the new freedoms via our Retirement Service,” Parkin said.
