Retirement Matters - October 2024 | Owen James | 23 October 2024 | Royal College of Physicians, London, UK

Wealth is defined by how you live and not what you have - An attractive philosophy but perhaps a tad idealistic. Over 18% of the UK population is retired. So, one could say that 82% are looking for retirement advice! Well maybe not the toddlers. However over 80% of household wealth is held by the over-45s. Ah therein lies the rub! The Millennials and their younger cohorts need to save but probably have more urgent calls upon their finances such as young families and trying to get onto the housing ladder. Or maybe they just don’t see the point and who can blame them. In a nutshell, is a one-day conference considering the retirement ecosystem and the opportunity it offers for increased client satisfaction and business growth. It will update you on the latest thinking and innovative solutions as well as provide a review of the backdrop – demographic, economic and regulatory. There is much to discuss as all these areas impact the whole country economically and emotionally.
