Manning & Napier Recognizes Health-Wealth Convergence

FAIRPORT, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Manning & Napier (Manning & Napier or “the Company”), is showcasing a suite of materials on the importance of health-wealth convergence at the 2013 Pensions & Investments Annual East Coast Defined Contribution Conference (P&I East Coast). The Company is providing materials at booth #21 on the ongoing convergence of health care and retirement planning and promoting this as a key issue in the retirement space.

“Health care simply cannot be ignored in today’s environment”

“Health care simply cannot be ignored in today’s environment,” said Mary Moglia-Cannon, JD, Senior Analyst and Portfolio Strategist at Manning & Napier. “Our responsibility as an active investment manager is to help plan sponsors manage risks. Today, rising health care costs and health care reform are impacting a company’s bottom line. As health and retirement have increasingly converged, you need someone awake at the wheel who understands how retirement outcomes have been re-defined.”

Manning & Napier is featuring several white papers that highlight how health care is impacting retirement. These include:

• “Health Plan Funding Options: An Employer’s Decision Guide”
• “Helping Employers and Employees Navigate Health/Wealth Convergence”
• “Increased Savings: The Best Risk Management Tool in the Retirement Readiness Equation”

“Outcomes have always mattered in defined contribution,” said Moglia-Cannon. “In today’s environment, the definition has just broadened: the retirement industry has both a responsibility and an opportunity to help plan sponsors better understand the health-wealth convergence.”
