Auto Enrolment

A question about : Auto Enrolment

I keep seeing auto enrolment described as free money for an employee.

Employers are obliged to participate when their staging date comes round. They must contribute their % share towards the employees pension.

They have additional admin costs themselves relating to this AND must pay a pension company to administer the scheme as well.

list of books to understand investment and pension

A question about : list of books to understand investment and pension

Does anyone know about any book that is practical in its approach in explaining how to invest and investment strategies, including pension? My financial adviser recommended one newly released on amazon called 'Saving and Investment Wisdom: How to take charge of your finances' by David Opoku, an experienced stockbroker and Financial planner. I got one and read it cover to cover (100 pages). It's really good and enlightening, but I would like to do further reading if you know other books please.
