A retirement income that looks sustainable today may provide a very different standard of living in 10, 20 or 30 years' time if it fails to keep pace with inflation.
Following his ‘think’ piece ‘Time to get real: building guided retirement in a world with inflation’, Glyn Bradley explores why inflation protection should sit at the heart of guided retirement design. The session will examine what a truly sustainable retirement income looks like in practice, the role inflation protection should play alongside longevity protection, and the implications for retirement solutions, benefit illustrations and member communications.
As guided retirement approaches continue to evolve, decisions around default design, withdrawal strategies and communication frameworks will play a critical role in supporting members' long-term financial security. This session will consider how the industry can better reflect inflation risk in retirement planning and whether current approaches go far enough in protecting spending power throughout retirement.
Topics that will be discussed:
What does a truly sustainable retirement income mean?
Why should inflation protection be as important as longevity protection?
How should guided retirement defaults be designed?
What are the implications for benefit illustrations and member communications?
Glyn will set out his arguments before opening the floor for a Q&A and discussion with the chair. Attendees are encouraged to bring their questions, views and experiences to help shape the discussion, challenge assumptions and explore the future direction of guided retirement.
