UK pension performance among worst in developed world

The international think tank warned that the poor performance of British pension companies could leave people retiring without enough to live comfortably.

The OECD said that returns on money invested by pension companies on behalf of savers fell every year between 2001 and 2010.

Every other developed country - with the exception of the US and Spain - saw an increase in the size of people's pension pots, including Chile, Portugal and Korea.
