Achieving a better risk result for retirees By Richard Dinham 15 December 2020 Helping clients plan for retirement and build their savings is a significant component of financial advisers’ role. And the benefits that financial advice can give to clients as they move into retirement have been recognised in the recently published Retirement Income Review. But equally as important is the need to continue assisting people to navigate their financial needs after they enter retirement – a period that may last 25 or 30 years. Retirees tend to view the world very differently to accumulators. As a result, this cohort of clients is likely to require different approaches compared to accumulator clients. Financial advisers may need to use new strategies and thinking to best help them.
