15 Preface Individual retirement security is a multifaceted subject of great importance. The unstoppable demographics of a large number of U.S. citizens transitioning from the accumulation phase of their economic lives to the distribution phase, the lessening percentage of workers covered by defined benefit pension plans, and the uncertain future of a U.S. Social Security program where relatively fewer workers must support relatively more retirees prompt the need for greater private-sector focus on retirement security. Excellent product vehicles already exist to help individuals achieve retirement security on a basis greater than they could achieve by themselves. Such solutions are used today only to a minuscule degree relative to their potential. Several reasons account for this. First, the mere existence of such solutions is not well known to the average retiree or average individual transitioning toward the years where drawing income from accumulated assets will begin. Second, individuals are properly apprehensive about employing specific retirement income solutions because they ve worked decades to amass their nest eggs; they want to avoid any mistakes that could cause them to need to return to work during advanced years when they would prefer not to do so or might be physically unable to do so. Third, financial advisers must feel comfortable enough with such solutions to explain them to clients; and such solutions must be congruent with financial advisers need to receive ongoing compensation for providing ongoing counsel. Individuals must make very real decisions regarding such factors as: Flexibility to change their retirement security program as their needs and situations change. Accessibility to their accumulated assets. Ability of their funds to provide income as long as they live, regardless of how long that is. Preferability of a stream of retirement income known with complete precision at the start of their income period the stream may be level xiii
