The impact of nanotechnology on the financial sector could be huge, it has been claimed. The Tax Incentivised Savings Association (TISA) is holding a seminar that will discuss how nanotechnology will affect financial services.
It will look into how retirement planning needs to adapt if applied nanotechnology results in increased longevity in society. The title of the event is Financial needs of an ageing population: Looking to the future and it will be held in London on June 10th.
Tony Vine-Lott, TISA director-general, stated: "Advances in this technology mean that the world could look very different in 15 years time.
"It's imperative that the financial services industry is prepared to meet the demands of a longer living population and that means facing up to the challenges now and in particular designing the investment vehicles that are going to suit all needs."
Adrian Boulding, wealth policy director at Legal & General, will chair the seminar. There will be speeches from figures including Ron Wheatcroft, technical manager of Swiss Re Capital Markets Ltd and Paul Flatters, managing partner of the Trajectory Partnership.
