In an investment landscape shaped by market uncertainty, geopolitical dynamics, and disruptive technology, rethinking retirement has never been more important.   One of the most significant shifts discussed at the Cogence Summit was the growing impact of increasing longevity, with new data from Discovery suggesting that more than 60% of clients are likely to outlive their retirement savings, which highlights the urgency to reconsider traditional investment strategies.   Kenny Rabson, CEO of Discovery Invest, shared his insights on how increasing longevity is reshaping the way we approach financial planning, with practical solutions for advisers. #CogenceSummit #Cogence #CogenceDFM #InvestmentInnovation

It has been an insightful day at the Cogence Summit 2024, held at The Polo Room in Sandton.
