What do you want to know about Lifetime Isas?

Lifetime Isas have been touted by the government as a boost for young savers, allowing them to make save and purchase a home.

These savings will be incentivised by a government bonus, and help people aged up to 40 to save for either a pension or a deposit on a first home.

However, some commentators in the financial services industry believe the Lifetime Isa - often called the Lisa - could end up replacing pensions eventually.

Is the Lifetime Isa the harbinger of the death of pensions or will it get more young people saving?

Should it be a vital part of an adviser’s toolkit or is it a potential source of future complaints?

These and other topics will be discussed by a panel of experts during an hour-long debate on Thursday (26 May) at 12pm.

FTAdviser is bringing together Richard Parkin, head of pensions at Fidelity International, Tom McPhail, head of retirement policy at Hargreaves Lansdown, and Jon Dean, consultant at Altus, to discuss these issues and answer your question on the Lisa.
