Despite the worst recession in a quarter century, a recent
survey by Ameriprise Financial found that a majority of its
advisors believe their clients’ confidence in their ability to
retire on schedule is remaining steady or increasing.
The survey, conducted in early November, asked approximately
1,300 Ameriprise financial advisors to describe their clients’
attitudes toward retirement. Of the respondents, 54 percent (695
advisors) said their clients’ confidence in their ability to retire
on schedule is remaining steady. An additional 14 percent (176
advisors) reported that their clients’ confidence is
increasing.
"While we know the economic downturn has changed the way many
people envision their retirement, in our experience, those who work
with a financial advisor tend to feel more financially secure,"
said Craig Brimhall, vice president of retirement wealth strategies
at Ameriprise Financial. "On the heels of a hard-hitting recession,
it's an especially positive sign that a majority of our advisors
perceive that their clients remain confident they’ll reach this
major milestone at the time they planned."
The survey was conducted via email, and responses were collected
during the period November 9-16, 2009.
