    This session will look at the latest trends in financial wellness and solutions to engage investors of all ages, income levels and career paths. Starting with younger investors, we’ll discuss ways to drive engagement as well as outreach models that encourage positive financial behaviors throughout their financial journey. For those investors who are nearing retirement, we’ll look at tools that help them determine how to draw down their accounts and provide transparency into retirement income strategies.

     

    We’ll also take a look at AI-driven solutions that help build investor confidence, including account aggregators that give investors a holistic view of their financial picture in one place and leverage data to provide specific recommendations on how to improve overall financial outcomes. We’ll examine the unique needs of baby boomers, as they transition into retirement—focusing on wealth retention, draw-down strategies and tax consequences.
