History
Financial Demographics was established in December 1996 by a Sydney Actuary, Bruce Gregor. The business started by carrying out research projects for financial institutions during 1996-97. These projects focused on the link between individual's life stages and their financial status. During this period Financial Demographics established a network with researchers with interests in this field. On Bruce's return to Institutional Investment Consulting career in 1998, these affiliates were introduced to project work for the foundation clients of Financial Demographics.
From 1998 until Bruce's retirement from Institutional advice in 2010, the sole focus of Financial Demographics has been the development of this website. Now in semi-retirement Bruce is re-engaging with demographic research and policy development of Australia's retirement income system as well as maintaining the site and publishing his newsletter, Longitude. You can establish contact with Bruce Gregor through the Contact Us tab on this website.

- Analysing a full spectrum of outcomes
- Comparing national trends in a global context
- Seeking a wide range of critiquing of our research by feedback to this site
Methodology
