It’s been a little while since we have focussed an episode on plan design of behavioral finance. So, no time like the present to make that happen! To provide the mental muscle behind the conversation I was excited to have Steve Shu, a Managing Principal at Digitai and a Researcher, at the City University of London. As an expert in behavioral science and someone who has worked with the likes of Schlomo Bernartzi and other pioneers in the field, he brings some current and unique insights on how behavioral finance continues to drive retirement plan design, technology and influences retirement outcomes. We start with an update on the auto features, move to nudges, predictive technology, deaccumulation, digital fiduciary concept and much more. Be sure not to miss Steve’s thoughts on democratizing of behavioral science.
