Jane Austen up there with the greats when it comes to “Most mentions of annuities in literature” award
“An annuity is a very serious business; it comes over and over every year, and there is no getting rid of it” Fanny Dashwood, in Jane Austen’s Sense & Sensibility. #FridayReflection #Retirement #RetirementPlanning #RetirementIncome #Superannuation #LongevityRisk

2 in 5 older Australians (aged 65 years and older) living at home needed some assistance with everyday activities in 2022. New data from the Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers is available now. Find out more: nuvi.me/buh3vs

Death is random and to be avoided - as it is permanent - by eating and exercising well, reducing weight, no smoking, drugs or sky-diving, etc. Life expectations are misleading, as it is the variation from that average that is important.
Most people planning to retire at 65, with no major diseases, should be planning for their retirement funds to last them at least another 30 years. lnkd.in/gbBGueVH #Retirement #RetirementPlanning #RetirementIncome #Superannuation #LongevityRisk #RedesigningRetirement

Unfortunately the Cohort longevities aren’t published in the Australian Life Tables but we’ll publish them soon. Misleading conclusions would be reached if Period alone was used. See our article “You’ll live longer than you think”
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal highlights the two different types of longevity risk that retirees need to manage and the danger of using the standard Life Tables when planning retirement. on.wsj.com/3Tu3lcV #Retirement #RetirementPlanning #LongevityRisk

Three decades after the introduction of compulsory superannuation, we might be seeing a serious move to transition our retirement savings system into a retirement income system. Read my latest for @optimumpensions 👉 bit.ly/3v77d9X #Superannuation #NotSuperYet

The government needs to rethink the “retirement ecosystem” to make it easier to obtain targeted support when planning for retirement, a paper published by the Actuaries Institute has highlighted. ow.ly/AFKH50Qfe77

Retirement has evolved significantly, and it's time that Australia reimagines the retirement ecosystem accordingly. Check out the Dialogue Paper I wrote with Andrew Gale for the @ActuariesInst bit.ly/ReirementMatters #actuaries #retirement #retirementmatters

Legislation was changed by Kelly O’Dwyer years ago resulting in several new product types increasing the choice of strategies at retirement.
Our new book is a comprehensive guide addressing the new landscape of retirement planning, providing expert solutions to the uncertainty around lifespan and the challenges posed by rapidly increasing life expectancy. 👉 amzn.to/47ztgnq #Retirement #RetirementPlanning

Mandatory reading is required. In Chile advisers have to pass exams before they are allowed to advise on retirement products. When I obtained my DFP there were examples in the text book. No longer. They are in this book instead- increase your clients’ post retirement income.

Take a guess: How many more years will 65-year-olds typically live? The correct answer isn’t trivial; it can affect your retirement security. #LongevityLiteracy #Retirement #LifetimeIncome

It is certain that long livers will run down then out of money - unless they live a less costly life than they deserve and have earned. We only have one life - let us enjoy every remaining day without the fear of running out of money and living in a caravan and eating food scraps
Just imagine if there was a product that superannuation funds could offer their members that would guarantee an income for life in retirement 🤔 bit.ly/3PgHzH8 #JustSaying #RetirementIncome #Superannuation #RedesigningRetirement
