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.
The RIC may be causing problems for super funds. Yet they are in the enviable position of being able to influence their older members (and their partners) in making the best of the rest of their lives, through longevity planning. This prepares them to deal with the decisions around the age of entitlement to the age pension, which has become the proxy for 'entitlement to retire'.
Longevity planning also builds relationships and provides the holistic basis for decisions covering work and other activities, where to live, and for better member health, financial and estate planning choices immediately and down the track. It provides the common ground for all advice.
