Second Savings Goals for Retirement paper published
Last year the IFoA published Savings Goals for Retirement Paper 1: Risks to Staying on Track – a report that provides actuarial analysis to give savers an idea of how much they might need to save in order to have a certain lifestyle in retirement. Throughout 2020 we are continuing to explore various other rules of thumb that can help people gain a clearer picture of their current situation and understand the steps they can take to bring their savings habits more closely into line with their retirement expectations. We recently launched our second paper in this series examining the risks people face in the DC environment, which might affect their ability to stay on track with their savings.
