2 Your future is now You have spent a lifetime working hard and saving for the future, and now you are ready to enjoy your retirement. It s time to turn your savings into income that can last for the rest of your life. Today, Americans are faced with many challenges in retirement, and as a result, are looking for new ways to create income certainty. When choosing a strategy for retirement income, there are key challenges that your financial professional can help you address. 1. W here will my retirement income come from? The short answer is you. With the future of Social Security uncertain and traditional employer pension plans becoming less common, the reality for most retirees is that their personal savings will take on a much greater role in funding retirement. 2. Will I outlive my retirement income? People are living longer. Over the last 60 years, the average life expectancy has increased by more than 10 years.2 With more time spent in retirement, you need to plan for the increased risk you ll run out of money. 3. How will market swings affect my retirement income? The market environment over the last few years has been a sobering reminder of the impact volatility can have on retirement portfolios. As there will always be ups and downs in the market, consider a strategy that can help protect your retirement income from the effects of volatility. Equity markets have suffered two major declines already in the first decade of the 21st century and continue to be subject to increased volatility.3 USAA, Retirement Income: It s Up To You Now, 2012 CDC/National Center for Health Statistics ( accessed October Society of Actuaries, Key Findings and Issues: Longevity, July / 8 PENSIONS ARE PLAYING A SMALLER ROLE FOR AMERICANS AS THEY PREPARE FOR RETIREMENT The number of traditional employer pension plans has decreased from a peak of 175,000 in 1983 to just 25,000 today
