Written by Anthony Asher, Convenor of the Retirement Incomes Working Group, the Dialogue explores the case to be made for a compulsory longevity risk management element to be added to superannuation products.In this podcast, Anthony is joined by Jim Hennington to discuss the key points and recommendations of the Dialogue, which conclude that:- superannuation funds should include a longevity-based product in their retirement income offerings and provide retirees with greater levels of low-cost financial advice; and- having products that more efficiently manage longevity risk will result in higher living standards in retirement and better align the superannuation system with its objectives.Download the Dialogue Paper: https://actuaries.logicaldoc.cloud/download-t
