This week's Shares looks at the stock market's mundane marvels. These companies may operate in some pretty boring areas but the returns they have generated over time are anything but.

We debate why you might consider cashing in a final salary pension, look at potential plans to limit pension tax relief and consider how much capital you should draw from your portfolio in retirement.
