Post-retirement under the spotlight



The Financial Services Council (FSC) has backed both lifting the pension age and the age at which members can access their superannuation - something which will be discussed at length at the Money Management/Super Review post-retirement forum on 29 April.
The forum will bring together some of the foremost experts including former Keating adviser and senior public servant Don Russell.
The one-day Post-Retirement and Ageing forum will traverse issues ranging from the need to adjust the tax settings on post-retirement products to how superannuation funds can extend their relationships with members well beyond retirement age.
Among the speakers are Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees chief executive Tom Garcia, professor Deborah Ralston from the Australian Centre for Financial Studies, AustralianSuper chief executive Ian Silk and a number of other superannuation fund chief executives.
