According to a recent LIMRA survey, 61% of consumers who worked with an adviser contributed to a retirement plan or an IRA and are saving at a higher rate compared to only 38% of consumers who weren’t working with an adviser.
Of the one-quarter of non-retired Americans who report working with a paid financial professional, half indicate that the adviser provided guidance on how much to save for retirement and nearly a third indicate the adviser provided guidance on a target amount to save.
