As retirement plans transition from supplemental savings vehicles to the primary income source for many retirees, plan participants’ perspectives on retirement have shifted significantly. While concerns about risks to their savings—like inflation, interest rates and market volatility—can ebb and flow, most consistently want help from their employers which can range from “encourage me to save” to “help me invest the right way. Similarly, plan sponsors say it’s important to protect the value of employee’s savings so they can generate income when they retire. However, they are concerned their employees aren’t saving enough. These—and other findings—will be the focus of this discussion with Glenn Dial, Senior Retirement Strategist at American Century Investments®. You will hear how these evolving views can help plan sponsors adapt plans to meet their participants’ needs, and how you can drive deeper engagement with your clients.
