"In 2010, U.S. households age 55+ held $12 trillion ... Based on U.S. Census projections, the assets held by this cohort will grow to $22 trillion that they will directly invest in products for generating retirement income. The number of Americans who receive income from an employment-based pension plan is on decline, and there will be many more retirees who will have most of their retirement assets invested in retirement plans. The study estimates that almost two-thirds of these assets will be directed towards products that will generate income for them in retirement."

"Only 47 percent of small businesses (2-99 employees) in the United States offer benefits to their employees, the lowest level in two decades of LIMRA research.... 78 percent of small businesses in the U.S. are family-owned. Family-owned firms experienced a sharper decline in benefit penetration between 2005 and 2012 than non-family-owned firms, with only 40 percent of these businesses offering insurance benefits in 2012 (compared with 47% in 2005)."

"Legislative changes, product development and an enthusiastic industry are opening the gates to annuity products inside retirement plans.... Complexity and availability remain the two biggest hurdles ... Thirty percent of advisors said the products are 'difficult for a sponsor to understand,' while another 28% said 'products are not available on all recordkeeping platforms.' Not surprisingly, better-educated advisors is a big key to connecting lifetime income products with eager plan participants."

July 17, 2012 "Today, $400 billion is waiting to be rolled over from retirement funds. By 2015, that's expected to grow by 50 percent to $600 billion. A majority of those pension, IRA and 401(k) owners are not secure that their dollars will last their lifetime ... [A]fter planning and buying annuities, buyers were more confident about their retirement.... Buyers average around 60 years old -- 59 for [variable annuities], 60 for traditional fixed and 61 for indexed.... [A]bout one in four buyers were under 50 when they purchased their annuity." |

"[R]eframing the conversation -- from 'annuities' to 'protected income' -- has helped shift public perception. Consumers may not love the word 'annuity,' but they value guaranteed income and financial protection. Even younger investors are paying attention. LIMRA research shows that: Nearly 60% of emerging affluent investors (ages 25 -- 45) are familiar with annuities. 7 in 10 would consider converting savings into lifetime income."

"[A recent LIMRA study found] more than half (51%) say they would rely on their personal savings should they lose the ability to earn an income, and ... more than a quarter (26%) would draw from their retirement savings accounts ... [J]ust 55% of employees can say definitively whether their employer even offers disability insurance, and less than half of workers say they have a strong understanding of these benefits."

"In a LIMRA survey of private-sector plan sponsors with at least 10 full-time employees, almost half (49%) of those that do not offer an in-plan annuity in their DC plan say that they have considered adding one at some point. About 3 in 4 claim that they will make this decision within the next 12 months[.]"
