Financial Editor Adam O’Daniel reported on the Charlotte Business Journal about Prudential pulling a Retirement Challenge stunt at the NASCAR Hall of Fame Courtyard in Charlotte, N.C. “The company toppled a 30-foot-tall domino stone, beginning with just a normal-size domino, to illustrate the long-term outcome of systematic retirement investing. The stunt involved Harvard professor and best-selling author Dan Gilbert asking bystanders how much money they had in their pockets. He then calculated how much that amount, $45 in one example, would grow into if saved on a weekly or monthly basis. ‘We are our own worst enemy when it comes to saving,’ Prudential VP of Advertising Colin McConnell told me before the dominos fell. ‘We have this

How many will make poor choices on where to invest their money? Will financial advisors pressure people to make unwise decisions?” (Kraft & Furlong, 2015, p. 317). Finding out if this system would work is a huge gamble that puts the livelihood of retired individuals at stake. If privatization efforts turn out to be a disaster, either elderly individuals would have to take devastating cuts to the Social Security funds they were promised or the federal budget would have to take serious cuts in other areas to make up for the losses (Kraft and Furlong,

Retirement pensions provides a source of retirement income employees can draw on after they stop working, they have to invest for retirement while they are still on the job (Lightbulb Financial, 2013). To take advantage of the opportunity to accumulate tax-deferred earnings and in some cases defer taxes on their contributions as well, employees can participate in employer-sponsored retirement plans and invest in individual retirement accounts (IRAs) that they set up on their own (Lightbulb Financial, 2013). This paper will propose several types of retirement plans that could be offered to employees. In addition, a

Many people don’t understand the process of investing; some people think you would have to work on Wall Street in order to understand the investing process. Even though the investing world has become more confusing than ever, Joe Mansueto saw an easier way of investing. Mr. Mansueto created an organization called Morning Inc. that would demonstrate an easier way of investing. Mansueto created a format that would cut around all unessassary information and aim directly for the relevant information. The company that Joe Mansueto established main focus is to research independent information for investments, financial advisor, and intuitional advisor (Ferrell, 2009). Morningstar’s mutual fund rating service is probably the most influential fund

An important element that is core to the financial stability in the market is confidence of the consumers in the financial products that they are investing in and their financial advisor who recommend them these products. This is because there has always been a conflict of interest between the consumers and financial institutions that expertise in creating these products and services and sell them to the consumers, and financial planners are the representatives in between them who can guide the consumers to these products and services that suits them the best. When it comes to complicated long-term financial decisions consumers have very little knowledge on how to go about it. This also means that consumers need to be protected from themselves

However, different from the firm physicalities of structure’s outside, the inside is curiously empty. Within it are vague shapes, all of which share a brilliant, pure whiteness. This apparent lack of substance actually represents the concept of possibility. The insides of this building are much akin to a blank canvas, on which one, who seizes the opportunity, can convey her feelings to any extent. This nothingness allows for whomever comes in to claim it as their own; this individual expression of intent leads to true freedom. Together, these impressions constitute a firm and steady brilliance that helps reinforce that retirement with Mutual of America truly is the correct investment.

: On April 6, 2016, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) issued its final rule expanding the definition of an “investment advice fiduciary” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The rule is intended to prevent financial advisors (FAs) from putting their own interests of earning high commissions and fees over their clients’ interests of obtaining the best investment advice for their retirement accounts. This brings a windfall of changes to how retirement plans and individual retirement accounts (IRAs) will be regulated, and has a significant impact on financial institutions. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Raymond James and an investment management firm, Eagle Asset Management is particularly vulnerable to these

About 10 years ago, it became apparent that WSF was losing an unacceptably high number of members as they reached retirement. The problem was simple; WSF had just the one product - a superannuation accumulation account, i.e. an opportunistically sidestepped this option. Therefore, the aforementioned revenue targets were set much higher than was needed as they did not take into account the continuing stream of product fee revenue. Furthermore, unlike other Financial Planning business models, the target made no allowance for the considerable revenue generated from the $0.5 billion of pension FUM the FP team had already amassed.

Much of the work we do is focused on helping individual investors find just the right combinations of assets and forms of investment ownership (IRAs, taxable accounts and the like) to meet their individual needs. Since everybody’s financial

Investment advisors actively manage their clients’ money. Immediate annuities do not allow for this as it is a one-time investment. This also means that the advisor/agent gets a one-time commission, which is less profitable compared to collecting multiple fees from one client over time for revocable investments (Rotemberg & Gourville, 2010). Additionally, advisors/agents often also do not have enough knowledge of the product, making it very hard to sell. Agents/advisors that do have knowledge of the product often state that immediate annuities are a bad retirement product. Only 9% of financial advisors (strongly) prefer the product, against 64% having a (very) weak preference for it (Morgan Stanley Research, 2007, as used in Rotemberg & Gourville, 2010).
