CPBI Pacific: Why retiring without a DB pension doesn’t have to be scary

Session description

Retirees say their greatest fear is running out of money too soon. As a result, the vast majority of them underspend. Author and actuary, Frederick Vettese, will describe five basic strategies for maximizing retirement income without increasing risk. In the process, he will also expose some basic myths about Canada’s retirement income system. 

Frederick's latest book, “Retirement Income for Life”, can be purchased at $5. Limited copies will be available.

Speaker

Frederick Vettese

Frederick Vettese was the Chief Actuary at Morneau Shepell until he retired from the firm in September 2018. He spent most of his career in the dual role of executive and pension consultant but in recent years, his role morphed into a more public one: helping to dispel myths about retirement planning. That is the role he continues to play through his articles in the Globe & Mail and National Post and in radio appearances. Based on Google hits, he is Canada’s most famous actuary.

Fred has also written three books. The first book - “The Real Retirement” – is one he co-authored with Bill Morneau. The basic message for Canadians was that there is no retirement crisis.

The second book – “The Essential Retirement Guide” – encouraged retirees to live their lives to the fullest while they can since our disability-free life expectancy is depressingly short.

The latest book - “Retirement Income for Life” – explains how retirees can maximize the retirement income they get from their savings without fear of running out of money.
