Lonsec/Milliman launch retirement industry panel
Research group Lonsec and actuarial firm Milliiman have teamed up with a cohort of product providers to tackle retirement-related concerns.
Forming an industry panel, BT Investment Management, Colonial First State, Macquarie, Metlife, MLC and Plato Investment Management intend to help Lonsec and Milliman provide thought leadership on retirees' investment needs.
The collaboration is in line with Lonsec and Milliman's recent launch of Lonsec Retire, a website to guide planners through topics like longevity risk, the politics of pensions and sequencing risk on a subscription basis.
"We are very pleased with the positive response we have had to the industry panel from subscribers to Lonsec Retire. We believe that the calibre and diversity of the selected panel members is a further endorsement of the path we have chosen to take," Lukasz de Pourbaix, General Manager — Lonsec Investment Consulting, said.
The website, which offers three advice modules, can be accessed here (www.lonsecretire.com.au).
