People across the world are living longer, with economists forecasting that living to 120 years is now an imaginable concept within the next decade.

Lise-Mari Crafford, head of ManCo Distribution at Allan Gray, joins Kaya Biz to discuss how investors can prepare for a successful transition from working life to retirement and shares tips to make your money last longer.
