Why do asset owners need to rethink financial wellbeing?
What does financial wellbeing really mean for pension members today?
For the latest episode of Sustainable Investor, Stuart Hall, Managing Director of Sustainable Media Group sat down with Blake Allison, founder and CEO of LifeCents, to look beyond the slogans and into the reality of how people behave with money.
Blake has spent more than twenty years working with major US employers and financial institutions on financial wellbeing programmes. What stood out in our discussion is how often the industry focuses on account balances and contribution rates, while members are dealing with day to day pressures that make long term decisions far harder than we admit.
We talked about:
• why financial wellbeing has moved beyond information and apps
• what under 35s actually prioritise when money is tight
• the growing gap in retirement readiness for over 50s
• how members really think about sustainability and returns
• why generic “save more” messages no longer work
• and how pension funds can rebuild trust by treating people as people, not data points
