Lifetime Income to Retire with Strength: .because there is a cost associated with living.

A shifting retirement landscape demands that retirees seek new strategies that emphasize lifetime income. Many recent social, demographic, and economic factors have heightened the already significant risks around longevity. Lifetime Income to Retire with Strength addresses those changes and other issues retirees face through the lens of longevity risk. In an era where conventional retirement planning approaches are challenged, author Bruno Caron proposes an innovative new approach based on a strategic combination of asset management, insurance, risk pooling and income generation. Emphasizing the importance of lifetime income in retirement planning, Caron offers a logical rationale for considering investment and insurance together as two pillars critical to retirement income planning. The book’s framework invites the retirees, pre-retirees and anyone interested in retirement planning to shift from the traditional "spending rate vs. probability of ruin" trade-off to a "spending rate vs. bequest" trade-off. Through historical, actuarial and logical perspectives, Caron examines the urgent challenges around retirement planning and offers thoughtful solutions based on his experience as an actuary, entrepreneur and stock and credit analyst.
