Retirement Perspectives: Empower Your Clients With Income And Peace Of Mind In Retirement

At Allianz Retire+, we know there’s a growing need for innovative solutions that provide access to sustainable retirement income.

Australia’s demographics are shifting. The products and strategies that retirees have relied on for decades need to be optimised for a future where people are living longer.

The investment strategies and products that have served so well in accruing assets via super don’t necessarily provide the kind of financial certainty Australians expect for their retirement years.

We have listened to the concerns of our clients and advice firms and have collaborated with leading platform provider HUB24 to launch Allianz Guaranteed Income for Life (AGILE) on the HUB24 platform November 2023.

This is an exciting development for advisers and clients, and represents a big step forward in accessibility and quality of retirement income solutions. Advice businesses can now seamlessly move through all the different phases in the client lifecycle – from pre-retirement (accumulation) to retirement (decumulation).

In this video, Justine Marquet, Head of Technical Services at Allianz Retire+ and Melanie Dunn, Principal at Accurium, answer some key questions around how these solutions work and differ from the past and importantly what testing has been done to ensure they help achieve income outcomes in retirement.
