• Market and Interest Rate Risk
• Withdrawal Rate Risk
• Sequence of Return Risk
• Purchasing Power/Inflation Risk
• Health Risks

Allianz Life has published new research suggesting that most retirement plan sponsors and participants are interested in products with guaranteed lifetime income options.  

According to the study, the majority of employees surveyed are concerned about their financial stability in retirement. Among participants in employer-sponsored plans, 73% would consider participating in a guaranteed income plan. Additionally, 64% report that economic uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has made a guaranteed income option more appealing. The study also showed that 77% of participants would have a more favorable view of their employer if they were provided a guaranteed income option.   

We all know it’s important to plan for retirement. But not all of us know how to do it — and many of us who do, don’t always have access to secure retirement planning.

If you’re looking to expand your presence in the healthcare sector, you’re probably trying to figure out how to sit down with the physicians whose names are on the doors you’re knocking on. But unless you have an existing relationship with one of those physicians — or a personal contact who can help you start one — you may be knocking on the wrong doors.
