Reinvesting took the Number 1 spot for usage of tax free cash withdrawals.
2% of clients in July wanted to use their tax free cash to fund a divorce settlement.
Of those enquiring about annuities, one in 3 wanted to sell them!
September was the month for home improvements with just over one in 4 callers (26%) taking their tax free cash for this purpose – a whopping 56% higher than the overall average of 15%.
