Rappaport, Anna M.; Siegel, Steve
- Abstract
Retirement programs vary in their methods of paying benefits, in the choices they offer participants with regard to benefit payout, and in their communications about payouts during retirement. The Society of Actuaries has conducted research on how individuals invest their funds during retirement and the impact of economic change on that investment. The Society of Actuaries Retirement 20/20 initiative has explored the payout period and how different signals impact retirement decisions and behavior. This article looks at issues with regard to structuring payouts, provides some comparative information about practice in and outside of the United States, and draws on Society of Actuaries research and related Retirement 20/20 work. It also discusses some of the policy issues likely to be raised in the years ahead.
