Speaker & Session Information
Why Health and Wealth are Two Sides of the Same Coin
Presented by Surya P. Kolluri
Head of the TIAA Institute, a think-tank within TIAA
November 30, 2023 8:00 - 9:00 a.m.
We’ve reached a milestone that throughout the history of humanity has been unimaginable: The prospect of growing old is becoming the norm. That means, however, there’s a growing threat that people will run out of money in retirement. As financial advisors help clients guard against longevity risk, the advisors must also realize that it’s just as important to know about someone’s physical health condition as it is to know about the health of their retirement savings accounts. They feed into each other, and they’re both essential for longevity fitness.
Learning Objectives:
Reframe how clients plan for retirement to guard against longevity risk
Consider sources of lifetime income, such as annuities
Help clients consider the holistic elements that go into longevity fitness, such as the intersection where strong social connections meet up with plans for our financial future
