'Communication of savers financial risk: The simple lump sum case'
Jens P. NIELSEN - Cass Business School, U.K.

ABSTRACT:
The perhaps most obvious challenge that the financial industry and the pension industry is facing at the moment is how to re-invent  financial savings products that are easier to understand . In particular with a view towards how individual savers can achieve the level of financial risk that they really want. This implies a simple, intuitive and operational way that pension savers can self-select their financial risk appetite. We go through a new and promising approach for the simple lump sum case. The research has been developed by four Cass Business School academics and is part of the ambitious research project "Minimizing longevity and investment risk while optimizing future pension plans" sponsored by UK based IFoA: "The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries".
