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 fell by the greatest rate since the start of the decade. 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. The problem is that most pension plans (and Social Security) are severely underfunded.
The industry is composed of legal entities (e.g. funds, plans and programs) organized to provide retirement income benefits exclusively for the sponsor's employees or members. The industry is unique in that revenue refers to total contributions plus net investment income or losses, while establishments refer to the number of funds. Fees associated with portfolio management, custodial operations or other third-party investment services are not included as revenue in this report.
This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
