‘Transition into Retirement’ – free seminar for 60+

Transition into Retirement is a seminar for people approaching retirement and are likely to be in the last 1-5 years of full-time employment.

This seminar targets a very narrow and specific target audience for the following reasons:

  • you’re moving from the ability to create financial independence into managing it
  • there are very specific issues you need to address
  • you’re unsure of the options you have to manage the wealth you have accumulated
  • you have worry and/or doubt about being able to enjoy life in retirement

You may be asking:

  • how do I replace my wages or salary?
  • how do I set myself up for retirement
  • how do I best manage my wealth in retirement?

If this sounds like you, then New Zealand Financial Planning (NZFP) warmly invite you to attend this seminar.

Date: Tuesday 4 September
Time: 12.00 – 1.30pm
Location: Erskine 121

Please register your interest for this seminar by contacting Shelley Dick via email or by calling 03 375 4040.

From the site: The Ihaka lectures
The series is named after Ross Ihaka, Associate Professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Auckland. Ross, along with Robert Gentleman, co-created R – a statistical programming language now used by the majority of the world’s practicing statisticians. It is difficult to over-emphasise the importance of Associate Professor Ihaka’s contribution to our field. We named this lecture series in his honour, as a way to recognise his work and his contributions to our field in perpetuity.
