Australia is facing a retirement adequacy dilemma of tsunami proportions with 35% of the population aged over 60 by 2025. This wave of people transiting across and in retirement is expanding rapidly, presenting with diverse needs and expectations, placing immeasurable demands on a system stretched to cope adequately enough to provide a secure, comfortable and sustainable retirement outcomes for all.
Australia’s once buoyant economy is now stalling and with the FSI under increased scrutiny emanating from the Hayne and Productivity Commission reports and ever changing reforms, Australians are feeling unsettled, from those trying to navigate the complexity of retirement financial decision making and associated risks, to even the most disengaged starting to question and lose confidence in the industry.
