The Ingevity Story

The Ingevity concept was born over a lunchtime conversation at Bondi with my parents. They are hard-working small business owners who are now approaching retirement.

	Mum is a “classic baby boomer”! She wants to retire now and enjoy it – to sea-change, to travel, to be there for the grand-kids and enjoy time with friends.
	Dad’s looking forward to retirement too, but he is the realistic half of the couple! He knows people are living longer and wants to make sure they have enough money to last.

Our conversation highlighted a dilemma faced by those just-retired and just-about-to-retire all around Australia. Too often they face a stark either/or choice:

• Live poor and die rich; or
• Run the risk of running out of money¹.

Neither option was attractive to Mum & Dad. In fact it seemed clear that most Australians would want a better solution. As a result, I founded Ingevity with the aim of providing a better alternative.

By bringing together a fantastic team of people and partners, conducting global research, listening to retirees and their advisers and thinking differently, we have developed what we hope are far more attractive alternatives for Australians reaching retirement age.
