This is the third and final part in our Autumn Masterclass series. Previously, we looked at the value of having a financial plan. In this session we home in on the point where we move from saving to spending.
Environments change – people transition. The shift to a new phase of life can be a difficult transition; so much of who we are is defined by what we do. This is especially relevant at retirement. Our session will start by looking at ways to successfully navigate change by developing a transition mindset. We will go on to discuss the new risks associated with moving from saving for the future to drawing an income from your pot. Will there be enough? Will it run out? Can you afford to help your children?
How you manage your income is arguably as important as how you manage your investments. We will look at different ways of managing your money and the compromises each entails.
By the end of the session, you will have a clearer understanding of how much you need, feel more relaxed about your finances and start to enjoy your Next Act. You’ve saved for a good retirement – let’s look at how to make it a great one!
Agenda:
Financial Planning – a recap of the previous session
Your Next Act – preparing for change and developing a transition mindset.
Comfort Break
Decumulation Risks – understanding the different risks that apply once you start taking an income from your investments and how to mitigate them.
Income Strategies – exploring different strategies and looking at the pros and cons of each.

Breakfast with James Duez: Imagining a World with Unlimited Computing
Norfolk Developers held their held their final breakfast of 2015 at the Maids Head Hotel on 16th December at the Maids Head Hotel and despite the early start drew a good crowd of techies and non-techies alike. James Duez was the morning’s speaker, tackling the epic subject of a world with unlimited computing over a full English.
Essentially in James’ world of super fast, super economical super-computers, everything would be better.
Healthcare could be revolutionized, bioinformatic searches carried out in the blink of an eye and weather forecasting would be, well, accurate. There are just two things standing in the way. The cost of producing these computers and then the energy they require to function. James’ company Optalysys is in the process of creating an optical processor, with the aim of significantly reducing the build cost and the running cost of super fast computers, and they are two years away from their goal. Using high grade liquid crystal and optical lasers he predicts they will be able to perform a multitude of functions in a fraction of the time it currently takes, impacting on just about every possible area of life.Optalysys are already working withthe Genome Project in Norwich and theEuropean Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts.
Among all the highly technical, almost futuristic, talk, I discovered a new favourite word. ‘Petaflop’ is a measurement of computer processing speed, but in my mind it’s the next generation of Pokemon. Don’t even get me started on Gigaflop….
