In part two of Legg Mason’s adviser education series, Reece Birtles, Chief Investment Officer at Martin Currie Australia, explores the prevailing hurdles facing retiree investors, and why an equities-oriented investment strategy can provide the optimal vehicle for delivering a sustainable and consistent income for retirement needs.
