Superb Economist, Moshe Milevsky, Discusses Mitigating Longevity Risks Via Past, Present, and Future Tontines/Annuities
Moshe Milevsky is one of my all-time favorite economists. He's a true expert on personal financial economics and when it comes to longevity risk, there is no greater authority. He's also a joy to learn from. Moshe has an uncanny ability to deliver complex ideas in the simplest possible manner with the help of his secret weapon -- his terrific sense of humor. You are going to thoroughly enjoy this Economics Matters podcast. Here's Moshe's wiki bio.
