    TRANSCRIPT: https://actuaries.logicaldoc.cloud/download-ticket?ticketId=ca083199-983b-4524-a4e4-cc98eaf45552

    DESCRIPTION: Monday 17 August 2020 saw the launch of the Australian Actuaries Intergenerational Equity Index (AAIEI), commissioned by the Actuaries Institute and written by three Taylor Fry staff (Ramona Meyricke, Laura Dixie and Hugh Miller).

    The Green Paper, 'Mind the gap – The Australian Actuaries Intergenerational Equity Index', and the interactive index are both available at the Actuaries Institute webpage. They represent an important contribution to the debate about how to treat generations ‘fairly’ by examining structural factors that have been changing over time.

    The index itself tracks a wealth and wellbeing score of three distinct age groups over time, using over 20 indicators drawn from six domains (economic & fiscal, housing, health & disability, social, education and environment) with the overall absolute index results shown below.

  • Developing the retirement income framework
    Transcript: https://actuaries.logicaldoc.cloud:443/download-ticket?ticketId=606e9734-10bf-4a70-a638-23518c89a2d4

    DESCRIPTION: Today the Actuaries Institute releases another publication in its Dialogue series - Developing the retirement income framework. 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.
