Guardian Capital teaming up with Moshe Milevsky on portfolio longevity solutions
Guardian Capital is forming a collaboration with Moshe Milevsky, a professor of finance at York University’s Schulich School of Business, that focuses on retirement finance.
As an academic, Milevsky is currently working on research on the intersections of financial engineering, actuarial science, insurance contingent claims and wealth management, according to a press release.
“There is an acute need for innovation to solve the growing challenges and education around how to think about retirement income, portfolio longevity and issues like sequence-of-return risk,” he said in the release.
