In a world cluttered with information overload, it can be difficult to remain focused on the things that really matter – like planning for a dignified retirement.
Our belief at the Allan Gray Umbrella Retirement Fund is that a meaningful collaboration between policy makers, employers, human resources executives, financial advisers and retirement funds, boards of trustees and administrators can remedy the situation.
By working together, we can help investors filter out the noise and challenge the 6%.
Our lineup of leading local and international thought leaders in the retirement fund industry shared thought-provoking insights and ideas for policy intervention and governance considerations, and explored the role that behavioural decision-making can play in achieving better retirement outcomes.
