Designing a Holistic Model of Advice to Improve Retirement Planning. We aim to improve retirement planning through the design and application of a new model integrating financial advice with career and health planning to optimise financial and psychological outcomes. We will test a multidisciplinary, holistic model of advice combining specialist knowledge in careers, health, and finances. Expected outcomes of the project include evaluating the use of a broader range of experts during retirement ....Designing a Holistic Model of Advice to Improve Retirement Planning. We aim to improve retirement planning through the design and application of a new model integrating financial advice with career and health planning to optimise financial and psychological outcomes. We will test a multidisciplinary, holistic model of advice combining specialist knowledge in careers, health, and finances. Expected outcomes of the project include evaluating the use of a broader range of experts during retirement planning and developing a model for the future training and development of financial advisers.By optimising the timing of workplace exit, we aim to decrease reliance on pensions and encourage earlier and on-going engagement in the retirement planning process. This will provide significant social and economic benefits.Read moreRead less

Demystifying Puzzles in Retirement Planning. This project aims to investigate optimal retirement planning with stochastic and ambiguous mortality/longevity risks not previously considered in a unifying framework. By using an innovative approach utilising techniques from actuarial science, financial mathematics and stochastic control, this project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of personal longevity risk management.

This project aims to investigate optimal retirement planning with stochastic and ambiguous mortality/longevity risks not previously considered in a unifying framework. By using an innovative approach utilising techniques from actuarial science, financial mathematics and stochastic control, this project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of personal longevity risk management. Expected outcome of the project include new insights to several puzzling questions in retirement studies. This should provide significant benefits to retirement education for retirees facing the risk of outliving retirement savings, thereby mitigating the pressing challenge caused by population ageing and longevity risk to pension systems in many countries.Read moreRead less

Better communication to solve the under-saving, under-spending puzzle. This project expects to develop evidence-based communication tools that promote life-time financial security, specifically investigating the puzzling and harmful tendency of people to under-save while working and under-spend while retired. To achieve this goal, it will design and experimentally validate innovative boosts to superannuation communication including income projections and goal-setting targeted at common misconcep ....Better communication to solve the under-saving, under-spending puzzle. This project expects to develop evidence-based communication tools that promote life-time financial security, specifically investigating the puzzling and harmful tendency of people to under-save while working and under-spend while retired. To achieve this goal, it will design and experimentally validate innovative boosts to superannuation communication including income projections and goal-setting targeted at common misconceptions and biases. It will use new structural modelling techniques to measure welfare changes. The expected outcomes are rigorous explanations for the saving-spending puzzle, and robust communication strategies for superannuation funds that will benefit workers and retirees by raising financial capability and confidence.Read moreRead less
