More needs to be done to address the post-retirement challenges

Press review Kiwi Investor Blog "The foundations of the investment knowledge for the Post-Retirement Investment solution as outlined above have regularly been posted on Kiwi Investor Blog. For those wanting more information, see the following links: A key foundation knowledge is Liability Driven Investing (LDI): More on Liability Driven Investing (LDI) for beginners. LDI is used by insurance companies and Defined Contribution Fund to manage their investments to match future cashflows/Income requirements. There needs to be a greater focus on generating Income in retirement during the accumulation phases: What Matters for Retirement is Income not the Value of Accumulated Wealth. Goal-Based Investing (GBI) is the wealth management application of LDI. The EDHEC Risk Institute GBI framework is amongst the most comprehensive and practical available. I try to do it justice in this Post: A More Robust Retirement Income Solution. EDHEC also advocate the concept of flexicurity. Flexicurity is the concept that individuals need both security and flexibility when approaching retirement investment decisions: Flexicurity in Retirement Income Solutions – making finance useful again. This Post: Evolution within the Wealth Management Industry, the death of the Policy Portfolio, builds on the concepts above and notes a paradigm shift within the industry to address the Post Retirement challenges. EDHEC provide a framework for the Mass-Customisation of the Retirement investment solution, which is very powerful."
