Participants reveal retirement planning needs

Published Updated 3 Min Read

The opinions of 1,396 active participants in 401(k), 403(b) and stock purchase plans were the basis for the report, “Helping participants make better financial decisions.”

The good news: 70% of survey respondents say they want to “thrive” in retirement, not merely eke out a humble existence. That sets the stage for survey findings indicating that participants are eager for certain information — and frustrated by some plan sponsor practices that slow them down.
