Bravura’s EMEA Propositions Lead, Jonathan Hawkins, recently sat down with FT Adviser, and our client the Australian Retirement Trust to discuss how pension providers can use digital advice to increase engagement and create better outcomes for all.
The current lack of saver engagement is a key issue providers and society at large will have to tackle if millions of today’s workers are to live comfortable lives in retirement.
Although Australia is some twenty years ahead of the UK in its auto-enrolment (AE) journey, there is a huge amount the two markets can learn from each other’s successes and failures in how it is approaching decumulation (or in lay terms, drawing a pension) for a large proportion of savers.
To explore this topic in greater detail, Jonathan Hawkins and Anne Fuchs, executive general manager, Australian Retirement Trust, were invited onto FT Adviser’s podcast to discuss the importance of an advice-led retirement with senior reporter, Alina Khan. The conversation included:
- What the UK can learn from Australia when looking to better support members.
- The latest on the Advice/Guidance Boundary Review and how providers can help tackle the current advice gap in the UK.
- How Bravura’s digital advice technology will support 2.3m Australians’ transition from saving to retirement.
