    A Major Retirement Disconnect: What Sponsors Miss About Participant Priorities

    Today, we’re joined by Glenn Dial, Senior Retirement Strategist with American Century Investments. Dial explains some fascinating findings from “The Retirement Disconnect: What Sponsors Miss About Participant Priorities,” the firm’s 12th annual survey of retirement plan participants and sponsors, which can be found at americancentury.com. He covers retirement income, common misconceptions, and the always-important income replacement rate, among other high-profile topics. Source: 12th Annual American Century Retirement Survey Methodology: The participant survey was conducted between June 3, 2025, and June 23, 2025.  The survey included 1,500 full-time workers between the ages of 25 and 70 saving through their employer’s retirement plan. The data were weighted to reflect key demographics (gender, income, and education) among all American private sector participants between 25 and 70. The sponsor survey was conducted between May 20, 2025, and June 16, 2025. Survey included 500 plan sponsor representatives holding a job title of Director or higher and having considerable influence when it comes to making decisions about their company’s retirement plan (either 401(k), 403(b), or 457 plans). The data were weighted to reflect the makeup of the total defined contribution population by plan asset size. Percentages in the tables and charts may not total 100 due to rounding and/or missing categories. Greenwald Research of Washington, D.C., completed data collection and analysis.

    Driving Success: Why Plan Sponsors Should Prioritize Retirement Income Solutions

    In this episode, we explore the importance of retirement income for plan sponsors in today's uncertain economic landscape. Joining us are Gordy Stead, Head of Institutional Sales, and Danielle Kelso, Senior Institutional Solutions Consultant from Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz). They provide insights into the role of guaranteed lifetime income options, such as fixed index annuities (FIAs), in offering stability and growth potential. By exploring the different retirement income products and considering the specific needs of participants, plan sponsors can gain guidance on making informed decisions for their retirement plans.   ** Disclosure Research Cited- The State of Lifetime Income: Participant Survey, conducted by Allianz in November 2024 with a nationally representative sample of 2,488 respondents aged 18+ who are currently contributing to an employer-sponsored retirement plan. Fixed index annuities are designed to meet long-term needs for retirement income. They provide guarantees against the loss of principal and credited interest and the reassurance of a death benefit for beneficiaries. Increasing income potential may be provided through either built-in or optional riders that may be at an additional cost. With the purchase of any additional-cost riders, a fixed index annuity contract's values will be reduced by the cost of the rider. This may result in a loss of principal and interest in any year in which the contract does not earn interest or earns interest in an amount less than the rider charge. Guarantees are backed solely by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.
