Presentation Abstract:
At the beginning of 2020, could we ever have imagined how different our year would end, compared to how it started? The past 10 months have proven one thing – adaptation, adopting changes quickly and resilience are traits that we need to hone if we are to survive – and thrive – as humans and investors.
In the insurance and investment space, COVID-19 offered benefits such as premium holidays and reduced risk premiums. However, the bigger advantage was that the pandemic forced us think about retirement planning differently. We were hard-pressed to approach pre- and post-retirement planning in the context of unthinkable micro- and macro-economic challenges, global panic, uncertain markets and a pandemic that will be with us for some time to come.
- Over the past few months at Glacier, we have paid special attention to the investment and financial challenges that COVID-19 poses. We continue to enable intermediaries and clients to cope with the following themes:How to deal with retrenchment from a financial and investment perspective;
- How to deal with and adapt investment strategies in the context of reduced income caused by;
- The advantages and disadvantages of a salary freeze;
- Saving for retirement from the first day you start working – how to manage this in the context of employment and economic uncertainty;
- How focusing on investment profiles and the timing of your retirement can contribute to a stress-free post-retirement life;
- Pre-retirement planning and post-retirement income solutions;
- What you and your clients need to know about group risk benefits.
Learning Objectives:
- How to be resilient during a pandemic/ crisis
- Adapting to change and standing above to lead,
- Mental and physical fitness during retirement.
