This program tracks and analyzes key changes in older consumers needs, preferences, attitudes, behaviors and decisions from year to year. Research concerning financial advisors who provide retirement planning and investment services to pre-retirees and retirees is also included in the research program. Greenwald & Associates and The Diversified Services Group, Inc.
2 The Annual Retiree Insight Program Year 4 P r o g r a m O v e r v i e w The very nature of retirement, financial planning and product usage during retirement will undergo significant change over the next several years. The incidence of defined benefit coverage is going down, higher health care costs are putting more pressure on retiree finances, more people are entering retirement with debt, home values are experiencing slow growth and the challenges of managing money in retirement have become more severe due to record low interest rates and equity market volatility. Designed as an annually recurring program, the primary purpose of The Retiree Insight Program is to develop a comprehensive, in-depth understanding of behaviors, needs, and decisions of near-retired and retired consumers, as they deal with the problems of managing money in retirement and choosing appropriate solutions for themselves. This research program, developed and conducted jointly by Greenwald & Associates and Diversified Services Group, Inc., with additional input and suggestions provided by Co-Sponsors of the research, provides financial services companies with new insights that will enable them to better target their marketing and product development and better penetrate the rapidly growing older age segment. Similar to previous years, elements of the 4 th Annual Research Program were renewed in order to track consumer reactions to new perspectives and challenges that result from ongoing changes in the financial and regulatory environment, as well as understanding retiree life events and their effect on behaviors and attitudes. In this most recent multi-faceted study, the Retiree Insight Program focused on retirement income planning issues from the perspective of the consumer as well as the financial advisor. These issues included asset goals and spending behaviors; interest in downside protection products; how personality traits impact behavioral risk and receptivity to products; the effectiveness of financial planning tools and risk tolerance questionnaires; the use and appeal of different retirement income strategies; and health care and long-term care expense planning. This was achieved through five distinct research stages, examining people ages 60 to 75 and financial advisors, experienced in providing retirement income planning and solutions to their client base. 1. Phase I -Consumer Focus Groups: two with pre-retirees and two with retirees. All participants were screened to be the primary financial decision maker in their household, have investable assets between $300,000 to $2 Million; not receive, or expect to receive, pension benefit income; and planning to retire or recently retired from primary career within 3 years. These groups explored preparation for retirement, the impact of emotions, lifestyle 1
3 expectations, spending patterns, reactions to tools and projections, and downside protection products. 2. Phase II - Financial Advisor Focus Groups: Two with Financial advisors with at least 5 years of experience, with gross revenue of at least $250,000 ($400,000 if over 10 years of experience); with 75% of their income from financial planning and investments sold to individuals; and at least 40% of total income came from clients ages 60 to 80 with a typical level of investable assets of at least $300,000; 3. Phase III Consumer Survey: An online survey of 1,201 pre-retirees and retirees ages 60-75: 1,000 with investable assets of at least $200,000 and an additional 200 with investable assets of $100,000 to $199,999. None of the participants had or expected any guaranteed lifetime income from a defined benefit pension plan. Information for this report was collected from 20-minute online interviews with 1,201 consumers ages using the Research Now online panel. The survey was conducted in August In addition, 251 consumers ages 50 to 59 were also surveyed. This younger sample was weighted and analyzed separately. Key results for this younger segment of consumers are presented in a separate section in the report. 4. Phase IV Financial Advisor Survey: Results were derived from an online survey of 307 financial advisors who participated in 20-minute online interviews. Financial Advisors were screened to have at least 20% of their clients ages 55 and over. In addition to meeting the client age requirement, advisors had to derive at least 40% of their income from work with individual clients, have pre-tax personal income from their financial advisor work of at least $100,000, and at least three years of experience. 5. Phase V Consumer Journey Mapping Study 1 : A Comprehensive journey mapping conducted over a seven month period through a) an initial survey of 350 people who intended to retire within a year or had retired within the past year, b) a follow-up survey two months later with 175 of those who participated in the first survey, c) a follow-up survey two months after that of 100 retirees from the earlier waves; and d) an electronic bulletin board qualitative study, conducted over three days, with 15 people who participated in the prior surveys. Major competitors from all retirement industry segments were Sponsors of this syndicated research program and were able to contribute input to focus group discussion guides, survey questions, and information objectives. Five in-depth reports were provided to sponsors after each phase of the program. In addition, executive 1 Some participants did have defined retirement benefits 2
4 summary reports were prepared for each Phase of the research. At the completion of the research, a one-day Sponsors forum was held giving the Sponsors an opportunity to hear a high level presentation and to exchange insights on the findings of the program. An elective top line on-site presentation at each subscriber firm is also included in the subscription price. P r o g r a m D e l i v e r a b l e s This program is the latest collaborative effort between Greenwald and DSG and highlights business and marketing opportunities to pre-retired and retired individuals and households. The program provides a useful framework, actionable insights, and relevant market information to help management better understand and act on consumers perspectives on retirement. Program results are contained in reports from the five phases of the program along with a summary presentation (Phase VI) given at the subscriber roundtable forum. The deliverables include: The Phase I and II qualitative report, summarizing the focus group research findings. This report also includes the topic guides used to lead the focus group discussions. The Phase III consumer (pre-retiree and retiree) quantitative research report, including an executive summary, the online survey questionnaire and weighted banner tables. The Phase IV financial advisor quantitative survey report, including an executive summary, research findings derived from a survey of representatives drawn from captive career agency channels, wirehouses, regional broker/dealers, bank channels of distribution and independent advisors/planners, the online survey questionnaire and weighted banner tables. The Phase V report covering findings and an analysis of the four stages of the Consumer Journey Mapping Research, including an executive summary, and directional considerations/implications. Phase VI: The Retiree Insight Summary Presentation Deck, underscoring key findings from the program and supplemented by additional segments and analysis of the findings derived from the Research results. This presentation was used to frame the one day Sponsors Forum attended by representatives from Sponsor firms in New York in November. 3
