Why are so many children investing in alcohol, pornography and guns? What does your bank really do with your money? Are you a Pension Gangster, and if you are, how can you get out of the game?

Tim Ewins, a chartered financial adviser specialising in ethical finance with a background in stand-up comedy, takes your hand in this no-nonsense guide, helping you to find out how your money affects the world – and what you can do about it.

It’s an industry where, just by doing nothing, you’re likely to be funding companies you’re ethically opposed to. Pension Gangster sets out the steps you can take, irrespective of personal fortune, to align your personal finances with your ethical beliefs, and to make sure your bank balance isn’t costing the earth.

Alongside his career in finance, Tim Ewins performed stand-up comedy for eight years. He also had a very brief acting stint (he’s in the film Bronson, somewhere in the background) before turning to writing. His first novel, We Are Animals, was published in 2021, followed by Tiny Pieces of Enid in 2023. Pension Gangster is his first non-fiction book. When not writing, Tim enjoys learning about football through his eager son, reading (of course), swimming and spending time at home in Clevedon with his wife and son.
