Today’s Top 5 Retirement Issues
Helping clients plan for retirement is one of the major jobs for advisors. Helping in that task are retirement planning calculators, investing theories and vehicles, and Social Security strategies galore. Advisors and their clients must live in the real world, however, and all those tools must incorporate what we know and are learning about psychology, the markets, regulation and legislation, and demographic trends. To help advisors provide the best retirement planning advice for their clients, the editors of Investment Advisor suggest some of the most salient issues that you should be considering in your process. Some you may know, others you may not have considered as burning issues, but taken together these five issues provide a snapshot in 2014 of what near-retiree and in-retirement clients are and will be facing.
