It joins Friends Provident, Scottish Equitable and Scottish Widows in halting withdrawals from once high-flying funds, which many savers have seen as a safe haven for their pensions.

Safe haven or source of a high rate of return? Didja ever wonder why they call it a risk premium?

This is a sign of serious problems. The first cloud on the horizon was about 2 years ago, when a lot of high-value investors cashed out of these property funds - obviously, they saw what was on the way.
