  • Workshop: Preparing for Retirement - Investment Solutions

    to

    Legal & General Investment Management are delighted to be hosting this mallowstreet University educational workshop on the topic of Preparing for Retirement. Preparing for retirement is an important part of people's lives. Carefully managing the transitional phase when you approach the end of your working life is vitally important for ensuring a comfortable retirement. Some sources of retirement income provide a high degree of predictability. However, in DC schemes, this is more directly dependent on investment returns. Pre-retirement investment strategies that successfully reduce the variability of future retirement income can help people achieve what they really want from their pension savings.
