The Aspen Initiative on Financial Security held its fourth annual Financial Security Summit in July in Aspen, Colorado. This year, the theme “Reimagining Financial Security: Managing Risk and Building Wealth in an Era of Inequality” served as the catalyst for a two-day dialogue among 45 influential leaders from the investment and banking industry, government, academia and non-profits. Together they grappled with some of the core drivers of financial insecurity and inequality among U.S. households, and searched for common ground on solutions that could improve financial security during working years and in retirement.
