Internet safety and fraud reminder
Recently, we have become aware of instances of unauthorized use of our brand names (such as BNY) and/or the impersonation of BNY’s leadership and employees by third parties purporting to offer financial services and requesting personal identification and banking information on social networks (e.g., Facebook), messaging applications (e.g., WhatsApp and Telegram), e-mails or telephone calls. These schemes are in no way associated with, licensed, sponsored or endorsed by BNY or its affiliates – BNY does not and will not solicit business or payment (in any form) through social networks, messaging applications, or telephone calls.

Exploring generational perspectives on retirement
Welcome to this five-part docu-series, where we delve into the diverse ways in which different generations are thinking and planning for retirement. This insightful series offers a comprehensive look into the unique challenges and aspirations that shape each generation's approach to life beyond work.
Guiding us through this journey is Dr. Eliza Filby, a renowned generations expert and social historian. With her extensive knowledge and engaging interviewing style, Dr. Filby brings a wealth of insight into the conversation, helping us understand the broader context of each generation's retirement planning.
Steve: Gen X
Generation X, born between 1965 and 1980, is characterised by their independence and resilience. Having witnessed the shift from a manufacturing-based economy to a digital one, Gen Xers are adept at adapting to change. Steve shares his insights on balancing work and family life, the importance of financial planning, unexpected financial hiccups, and his vision for a fulfilling retirement.
Tito: Gen Z
Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012, is the most digitally connected and socially conscious generation. Tito covers the financial and social pressures faced by his peers, his attitude to money and the role it plays in his life. He also discusses how in today's digital age, social media platforms have become powerful tools for influencing his generations investment decisions.
The roundtable
In this final episode, all interviewees come together for a roundtable discussion, joined by Richard Parkin, Head of Retirement at BNY Investments and moderated by Dr. Eliza Filby. This engaging conversation explores the similarities and differences in savings and retirement planning across generations, offering a comprehensive view of the future of retirement.
