Retirement

The Committee supports the Singapore Actuarial Society (SAS) by addressing issues related to old age, retirement, and longevity in Singapore. It brings actuarial perspectives to the challenges of an ageing population, promotes understanding of Singapore’s retirement landscape, and engages members in developing practical, evidence-based solutions that contribute to the financial integrity of retirement systems.

What We Do

The Committee’s objectives and responsibilities

  • Identify issues relating to old age, retirement, and longevity in Singapore, particularly the challenges of asset accumulation and decumulation across the life cycle.
  • Understand and articulate the role of actuaries in supporting stakeholders to preserve the financial integrity of Singapore’s retirement systems, across both public and private sectors.
  • Support and engage SAS members in formulating solutions to retirement-related issues.
  • Disseminate knowledge and insights on Singapore’s retirement landscape to the local actuarial community.
  • Appoint sub-committees, working parties, or task forces on an ad hoc basis as needs arise, and oversee their work.
  • Review the Committee’s Terms of Reference and structure annually and propose updates to Council together with the annual budget.
