Netspar Magazine 22: Big Data and the Pension System of the Future

The fast-paced developments in the field of big data, fintech and robo advice are increasingly affecting our daily lives, but they also play an important role in the pension industry. Netspar partners expect that Data Science can particularly have a big impact – and a high probability of success – on the personalization of pension products and communication. At the same time, issues such as risk management, life-cycle investment, privacy and the gap between citizens who may or may not be able to keep up with the latest developments, raise many new questions.
Marike Knoef (LU) and Bas Werker (TiU) already explored the possibilities of data science for the pension domain and summarize their findings briefly in this presentation (in Dutch).
