MEMBERS-ONLY RECORDING


Nobel Prize–winning economist Dr. William Sharpe has spent most of his career thinking about risk, having developed the Capital Asset Pricing Model for gauging systemic risk and the Sharpe ratio, which measures risk-adjusted return. Dr. Sharpe has since turned his attention to what may be the biggest risk of all for investors—running out of money in retirement. He created a computer program that covers 100,000 retirement-income scenarios based on different combinations of life spans and investment returns for a retired couple. What he calls “the nastiest, most difficult problem in finance” is knowing how to balance having enough income to meet investors’ current needs and wants and having enough to get them through their lifetime. In this fireside chat, he will share a few ideas for how retirees can better manage this risk, as well what he believes are best practices for financial advisors and investors and what the ideal future of financial advice and investing will look like. Absolutely not to be missed. Seating is limited so reserve as soon as possible.
