Controllable Factors and Uncontrollable Risks in a Retirement Spending Plan

As the need for consistent retirement income has increased, our analysis supports that adding a registered index-linked annuity (RILA) can help reduce a client’s exposure to uncontrollable risks impacting their retirement spending plan.

Our inaugural RIA Retirement Risk Review Study

A majority of financial advisors express growing concerns about their clients' readiness to address fundamental retirement risks. Our RIA Retirement Risk Review Study examined how advisors are approaching these risks, and discovered a willingness to explore new risk-management solutions.

Now available: Mastering the Conversation

For financial advisors, the ability to listen, lead, and learn through conversation can mean the difference between keeping and losing a client. That’s why we developed our Mastering the Conversation guide, which distills advice from 14 experienced professionals for navigating the four areas of communication – giving you the key to improving your client relationships and, ultimately, the success of your advisory firm.
