Research house Lonsec and actuarial consulting firm Milliman have assembled a panel of experts to write regular investment articles for subscribers to their new retirement website.
Subscribers to the new Lonsec Retire web service will have access to thought leadership on a variety of topics relevant to constructing portfolios in retirement written by BT Investment Management, Colonial First State, Macquarie, Metlife, MLC and Plato Investment Management.
The first two contributions have been written by MLC Investment Management’s senior investment consultant, Brian Parker, and Plato Investment Management’s Don Hamson.
Parker’s paper, Keeping it real in retirement planning: why returns above inflation matter, looks at the potential threat of inflation and the drastic impact it can have on investment returns.
Hamson’s One size does not fit all: retirees are different warns the financial services industry not to lump all retirees in one box, but to build tailored products and solutions.
Lonsec investment consulting general manager, Lukasz de Pourbaix, said the retirement challenge was an issue the entire industry was grappling with.
“We wanted to engage with, and draw on, the expertise of a range of product providers, who each bring something different,” he said.
Lonsec retire will publish two to three new articles a month.
