Where do we go from Here? Talking the Future of Retirement Policy
Wednesday December 18, 2019
Please join us for two thought provoking sessions about what the future holds for retirement plans and policy.
Keynote Speaker:
Mike Barry – October Three Consulting – Retirement Savings Policy: Past, Present and Future.
Retirement policy is supposed to be a bastion of stability and security, but the history of that policy is characterized by constant change; changing demographics, workforce patterns, plan designs and political priorities – to say nothing of rising financial markets and falling interest rates.
The resulting story has unfolded like a drama with an uncertain ending. Author, attorney and benefits professional Mike Barry has written a new book, Retirement Savings Policy: Past, Present and Future, telling that tale and speculating on how the story might continue.
Mike will Join ABC of Chicago members to talk about the fundamental risks of retirement savings, the trouble with tax incentives, exit ramps for employers and how The Office helps explain our idea of the workplace.
Speaker:
Dan Noschese – Nuveen – What's next in defined contribution?
Helping plan fiduciaries navigate the ever-changing world of retirement. Dan will provide insights into current and emerging trends and their potential impact on investment menu design and participant outcomes.
