Financial Planning Issues Facing Women: Longer Lives = Bigger Burdens

In this webcast, the presenters will discuss the unique financial challenges women face that impact their retirement security. The presentation will cover a range of financial and life challenges specific to women, including: longer longevity, higher medical expenses, the 'pink tax', investing preferences and risk tolerance, lower earned income and savings (especially during child rearing years when it is most important) and more.

This webcast will also cover how various life, annuity, and investment products may best address these challenges for women specifically (or any investor with a similar profile). We will cover each of these topics with an actuarial perspective, driven by raw data, and through the lens of real life stories from financial advisors' experiences.

At the conclusion of the webcast, attendees will be able to:
• Describe key financial risks arising from emerging trends in female longevity
• Describe key findings on behavioral investing trends that impact female financial security
• Understand the impact of female specific longevity, career cycle and investing behaviors on overall retirement security
• Use female specific issues in product development and marketing work for life, annuity, and investment products to offer optimal financial security for the female demographic
