SCHRODER INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AUSTRALIA LIMITED
Schroders Australia's Kellie Wood talks about winning a lot, so much so that it's become a well-intentioned joke with her co-workers - but it's this ambitious attitude that spurs her on every day. Eliza Bavin writes.
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou for highlighting the benefits of compound interest and the need to stay in the workforce.
I feel that I have been struggling to get people to understand that for men and women to each have an equal period in retirement (say 15 years) then a woman should retire at an age 2 years older than a man, using her longevity advantage to make up for any earlier years when she has not worked.
Those extra years of contributions and compound interest (on her higher pre-retirement balance) will compensate her, allowing each gender to use their similar super over a comparable retirement period.
