Keynote Session: A Gentle Introduction to the Calculus of Retirement Income
» Keynote Speaker: Dr.
Moshe A. Milevsky, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Finance, Schulich School of Business, York University Executive Director, The IFID Centre
Professor Milevsky is a well respected expert and published author on the analytics of retirement income planning. He will discuss results of some of his recent research work on the common mistakes or errors that he finds most investors and many advisers make when contemplating product allocation decisions at retirement. These mistakes include underestimating risk, overestimating returns and miscalculating several investment assumptions — all of which can distort the calculus of retirement income.

Planning and Preparing for your Client’s Healthcare Costs: What You Need to Know to Best Inform your Clients
Part 1 – Long term health care expenditures and preferences are a challenge to predict for your clients. With Medicare
and Medicaid not fulfilling the financial gap for the retiree, long term
care planning is more important than ever with the continuing escalation
of health care costs and the myriad of choices available in long-term care
services and insurance. In this part of the program, we’ll examine the
current and long term costs of health and related elder care
services.
Part 2 – A hands-on session with an adviser who
specializes in this for his/her clients. Coupled with the research and
academic knowledge presented in part one, this part of the session looks
at how an adviser can use this valuable information to help better serve
their client’s healthcare issues in their retirement years.
