Affluent retirees reported much higher levels of concern about the economy in October 2008 than they did in August 2008.
Researchers at MFS Investment Management, Boston, a unit of Sun Life Financial Inc., Toronto, have published figures on that topic in a summary of results from surveys of 500 retirees ages 55 to 75 with at least $500,000 in investable household assets.
All participants retired in 2003 or earlier, and all use a financial advisor.
