Download or read book The Disruptive Impact of FinTech on Retirement Systems written by Julie Agnew and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-29 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people need help planning for retirement, saving, investing, and decumulating their assets, yet financial advice is often complex, potentially conflicted, and expensive. The advent of computerized financial advice offers huge promise to make accessible a more coherent approach to financial management, one that takes into account not only clients' financial assets but also human capital, home values, and retirement pensions. Robo-advisors, or automated on-line services that use computer algorithms to provide financial advice and manage customers' investment portfolios, have the potential to transform retirement systems and peoples' approach to retirement planning. This volume offers cutting-edge research and recommendations regarding the impact of financial technology, or FinTech, to disrupt retirement planning and retirement system design.

This book was released on 2014-03-19 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This consultation form a key part of a wider set of reforms announced at Budget 2014. The government is keen to ensure that individuals who want to save are supported in doing so. The nature of retirement is changing as people are living longer and their needs more varied. In this Government's view the State should not be imposing restrictions on individuals who have made tough choices to save for the future. So from next year there will be no restrictions on people's ability to draw down from their defined contribution pension pots after age 55. The tax rules will be drastically simplified to give flexible access to pension savings. Consumers will therefore also need to be well informed to make their choices and the Government will introduce a new duty on pension providers and schemes to deliver a 'guidance guarantee' by April 2015. They will also make available a £20 million development fund to get the initiative up and running
Download or read book Remaking Retirement written by Olivia Mitchell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around the world, people nearing and entering retirement are holding ever-greater levels of debt than in the past. This is not a benign situation, as many pre-retirees and retirees are stressed about their indebtedness. Moreover, this growth in debt among the older population may render retirees vulnerable to financial shocks, medical care bills, and changes in interest rates. Contributors to this volume explore key aspects of the rise in debt across older cohorts, drill down into the types of debt and reasons for debt incurred by the older population, and review policies to remedy some of the financial problems facing older persons, in the US and elsewhere. The authors explore which groups are most affected by debt and identify the factors producing this important increase in leverage at older ages. It is clear that the economic and market environment is influential when it comes to saving and debt. Access to easy borrowing, low interest rates, and the rising cost of education have had significant impacts on how much people borrow, and how much debt they carry at older ages. In this environment, the capacity to manage debt is ever more important as older workers lack the opportunity to recover from mistakes.
Download or read book Pension Protection Fund written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010-02-05 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pension Protection Fund offers protection to some 12.4 million pensioners in private sector defined benefit (often known as final salary) pension schemes should their employer become insolvent. The Fund currently manages its assets well and has not been exposed to severe losses in the recession. In 2008-09, the Fund's investments increased in value by 13.4 per cent. The Fund's standard investments saw a return of minus 3.4 per cent in 2008-09 (against the market average for the same combination of asset classes of minus 3.6 per cent). But, as the Fund's assets grow, the investment operation will require additional skills and the Fund should consider adapting its investment processes. The Fund's deficit increased during the recession - from £517 million in March 2008 to £1.2 billion in March 2009 - largely because of the combined deficit of the increased number of schemes being assessed on whether they should be transferred to the Fund. However, the value of the Fund's assets far outweighs its annual compensation payments: at the end of March 2009 its assets were £3.2 billion but its current compensation payments amount to £70 million a year. The Fund has developed a suitable model to assess future liabilities and this has proved resilient to a range of stress tests. The model's longer-term projections are sensitive to important assumptions, so the Fund should establish a framework for illustrating the sensitivity of output from its long-term risk model.

Download or read book Assessing Chile s Pension System Challenges and Reform Options written by Samuel Pienknagura and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-09-10 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chile’s pension system came under close scrutiny in recent years. This paper takes stock of the adequacy of the system and highlights its challenges. Chile’s defined contribution system was quite influential when introduced, and was taken as an example by other countries. However, it is now delivering low replacement rates relative to OECD peers, as its parameters did not adapt over time to changing demographics and global returns, while informality persists in the labor market. In the absence of reforms, the system’s inability to deliver adequate outcomes for a large share of participants will continue to magnify, as demographic trends and low global interest rates will continue to reduce replacement rates. In addition, recent legislation allowing for pension savings withdrawals to counter the effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, is projected to further reduce replacement rates and increase fiscal costs. A substantial improvement in replacement rates is feasible, via a reform that raises contribution rates and the retirement age, coupled with policies that increases workers’ contribution density.
