According to Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock — the largest
asset management firm in the world, which manages $4.5
trillion in assets:
“Longevity is the defining challenge of our age.”
The traditional mix of retirement funding from pensions and
personal savings is in the grip of “a systemic crisis that is
threatening not only our retirement systems but also our
economic futures.”
