According to a new research report, Cracking the Code to Retirement Income: Key Developments and Opportunities, released by Financial Research Corporation, the opportunity for retirement income products continues to expand as the age segments to which retirement income products can be marketed are broadening.

Prescott said… “I would encourage advisers to seek out clients and prospects in their early 50′s.” According to an FRC fact sheet….”FRC sees that the line between retirement accumulation products and retirement income products is blurring. In the report, FRC provides an in‐depth analysis of structures, features, and functions of the primary retirement income products, including Managed‐Payout Funds (Endowment and Maturity‐Date Funds), Hybrid products, seven types of Guaranteed Annuities, as well as a category of retirement products that may not have been recognized as retirement income products in the past. The report examines the relative success of these products based on netflows and asset statistics supplied by FRC’s proprietary IMPACT database, as well as insightsfrom leading asset managers, and data from other investment industry sources including Morningstar, ICI, LIMRA, and EBRI.”

www.bestgoodinfo.com — The Best Way to Create True Financial Freedom Financial freedom means different things to different people. To some, it’s working only 20 hours a week at a local school. To others, it’s retiring to a tropical paradise to live a life of luxury. Either way, a solid stream of income will be required to maintain your ideal lifestyle. 1.Define what financial freedom means to you and calculate what that will cost. Living a life of luxury will take far more income than simply retiring to knit and read books. 2.Consider your current resources and calculate the gap. Most people have some financial resources. Investments, retirement savings accounts, investment property and privately owned businesses are common examples. 3.Fill the gap. Now that you know what true financial freedom will cost and how close you are to it, create a road map to fill the gap. 4.Look for passive income streams. Passive income is income that you earn even when you’re not working. 5.Don’t get caught up in the money. Life is about far more than dollars and cents. Remember why you’re trying to create financial freedom. If you spend all your time creating it and don’t spend time with those you love, what is the point?
