I’m pleased to announce that Accenture has released a new report on the retirement services market.

To learn more:

• Read the survey: Global Retirement Services Survey: Consumers see the light as retirement shortfall looms: Pensions crisis an opportunity for embattled life insurers—if they can respond effectively (PDF; opens in a new window)
• Read the press release at Accenture Newsroom

Concerns about retirement planning are widespread among consumers. More than half (53 percent) of survey respondents say they lack the necessary information to prepare for retirement and the financial means (57 percent) to invest in a private retirement product.

Life insurers have a great opportunity to grow their business by giving customers the retirement services and products they need. In upcoming weeks, look for more posts from me discussing the survey findings and sharing additional insights.
