Group of Retired Actuaries in Melbourne (GRAM)

GRAM has again met four times this year at KPMG's Melbourne Boardroom. The average attendance has been 19 members, just up from the first full year in 2013.

GRAM - April Meeting

The topics that have been discussed include:

• financial and legal issues for retirees;
• future jobs (generally and for actuaries);
• energy; and
• forward planning for our towns and cities.

The meetings are informal with members contributing their views with enthusiasm. This month, members attended the inaugural gathering of similar members and their partners from around Australia.

In 2015 it is likely that five meetings will be held with at least one topic being more technical than to date. GRAM remains an excellent opportunity for retired and partly retired actuaries in Melbourne to meet with old friends and colleagues, whilst enjoying discussion and lunch kindly provided by the Institute.
