It was during a family sojourn to the seaside town of Pescara, Italy, Rob DeDominicis first laid eyes on what would become the harbinger of his future. Andrew McKean writes.
If super funds actively educated their members in staying healthier and productive longer, those that benefited would also boost their financial situation and face a more attractive longevity with a likely shorter period of dependency. They might also appreciate their ability to engage more productively with their younger family members and support achieving their financial independenc earlier. And they might feel their super funds are someone with more than just their financial interests at heart. Win-win-win?.
