At the 2022 All-Actuaries Summit, Naomi Edwards, Ruvinda Nanayakkara, Christine Li and Brnic van Wyk started a conversation about how as a profession, we can develop the passion and member interest in the superannuation industry. Find out what they had to say.
There is certainly no set pathway when it comes to forging a career as an actuary, just ask Meray El-Khoury. Meray (Chief Insurance Officer, MetLife Australia) joins Christine Li (Secretary, Actuaries Institute’s Superannuation and Investments Practice Committee) on the ‘That’s Super’ Podcast to discuss her unique career journey across traditional and non-traditional fields, the importance of building your personal brand, and being brave enough to take a plunge.
Every Australian deserves a confident answer to basic questions like “How much do I need to retire?”, “How much can I spend in retirement with a high level of confidence?” and “How much Age Pension can I expect to receive?”. They also need to know how this will change if they contribute more or less to superannuation. However, the mathematics and assumptions to answer these basic questions with high confidence are surprisingly complex and deeply ‘actuarial’.
The Retirement Income Covenant has been a long time in the making. Will this change the superannuation industry’s focus to what really matters?
