Savings shortfall: Baby boomers will strain payouts while unemployment limits contributions

Retirement & Pension Plans in the US

No easy retirement

Retirement and pension plans suffered a sharp setback during the subprime credit crisis, when industry assets crashed. Plan sponsors, still recovering, now have several new issues to contend with. Among these is the growing number of aging and retiring baby boomers, who are due to receive pension payments. However, many pension plans (and Social Security) are severely underfunded. As a result, most plans are becoming defined contribution plans, which shift responsibility to the individual.

The industry comprises legal entities (e.g. funds and plans) that provide retirement saving and income benefits exclusively for the sponsor's employees or members. Plans can be based on defined benefit or defined contribution. Revenue in this industry refers to total contributions plus net investment income or losses, while establishments refer to the number of funds. Fees from portfolio management, custodial operations or other third-party services are not included in this report.
