The Impact of FinTech on the Future of Retirement Systems

Book review

Abstract

The book’s authors address an important social issue. When preparing for retirement, many people require help with the proper planning and management of their savings and investments during the accumulation period as well as with developing an adequate strategy on how to use the accumulated assets during their years of retirement. In light of current market practices, financial advisors and investment fund managers currently specialising in these issues seem rather expensive and thus unaffordable to many, while their activities fail to cover all the related needs and areas. Moreover, working with financial advisors and investment fund managers is often affected by conflicts.
