Hello, our latest retirement income research has revealed even more opportunities for retirement-focused advisors to help sponsors and investors succeed. Let me walk you through a few of them.
First, participants are increasingly keeping their assets in their DC plan rather than rolling over after they retire;
Second, even more participants are expected to do so in the future;
And third, although sponsors say they’re willing, and interested in, providing retirement income solutions–they may need your help in doing so. Just 3% of the plans we studied have taken action.
That creates a golden opportunity to help those who have recognized the need, but want an experienced partner for guidance as they take the next step.
So what’s holding sponsors back? Some of the largest barriers are fiduciary risk, potential cost, and a lack of expertise in helping people manage the decumulation phase of the retirement journey.
Furthermore, our research revealed that plan sponsors have a strong interest, but lack knowledge, in how to best incorporate retirement income solutions at an investment level: these include implementing stable value, managed payouts, target maturities, annuity contracts, managed accounts, and/or bond ladders.
I encourage you to take a look at our retirement income framework – called a “New Outlook on Retirement Income.” It can help you and your teams overcome these barriers.
Now this is just a small sample of the insights gained from the real-world retirement income research that we do with plans, consultants, and investors. For more, visit our website or contact your T. Rowe Price associate. Thanks.
