Retirement 20/20


The Pension Section Council of the Society of Actuaries hosted the 2007 Retirement 20/20 Conference, Aligning Skills with Roles, this past September in Washington, D.C. Read Emily Kessler's summary of the two-day event in the January 2008 Pension Section News.

Keith Ambachtsheer, one of the panelist's at the September 2007 conference, mentioned the Retirement 20/20 initiative in his submission to the Province of Ontario Expert Commission on Pensions.

 

 

In preparation for the next Retirement 20/20 conference, the Pension Section Council has issued three Calls for Papers. One asks interested contributors to explore the behavioral signals that retirement plan design give to plan members, and how those signals could be (or should be) changed. The second looks to contributors to submit papers on the topic of self-adjusting mechanisms within retirement systems. The third looks at how individuals can best optimize the distribution and use of a lifetime accumulation of retirement resources to support and sustain them in retirement. We encourage interested parties to review the Calls for Papers and to consider making a submission.
