Improving Financial Security in Retirement
Retirement security remains a global policy challenge, with both advanced and emerging economies making progress in narrowing the savings gap. However, as longevity rises and the global transition from defined benefit (DB) to defined contribution (DC) pensions takes hold, the challenge of under-saving is being joined by a new set of crucial priorities: ensuring individuals are effectively turning savings into income for life, are making smart, tax-advantaged choices, and are keeping their hard-earned nest eggs safe from fraud.
Against this background, interest in protected lifetime income solutions is increasing among policymakers, retirement providers and future retirees. In addition to helping address longevity risk, well-designed lifetime income solutions can help create a “license to spend” in retirement. Realizing these benefits will require a stronger partnership across public and private sectors, with employers, financial service companies and policymakers working together to drive innovation and protect outcomes for pre-retirees and retirees.
This Financial Times Breakfast Briefing, held in partnership with Prudential Financial, will explore the evolving retirement landscape and share insights and best practices from countries globally that have been grappling with the issue of turning lifetime income concepts into effective policies, products and services.
