'When will the Baby Boomers really retire?'

 The Retirement Financial Readiness Opinion Council's (RFROC) latest study entitled 'When Will the Baby Boomers Really Retire?', answers this question on many levels. Older Baby Boomers have told us that they have been saving for their

 retirement for forty years. "They are about to shift and begin taking distributions to live their retirement dreams," stated Bruce Hurwitz, RFROC President, who goes on the say, "It is critically important for financial services companies to understand the coming retirement account outflow phenomenon, and to develop plans for attracting new sources of investment assets."

In addition to studying retirement age plans and plan distributions, this study looks at Baby Boomer thoughts on continuing to work outside the home after retirement, retirement living destinations and retirement income sources.

The Retirement Financial Readiness Opinion Council (RFROC) is an Internet-based e-panel and market research analysis system exclusively for the financial services industry. RFROC was founded with the mission of providing the financial services industry with near real-time, efficient, effective and powerful market intelligence about the thoughts of the over-18 population on investment products and services. Research is based on feedback from panelists throughout North America, representing all ages, genders, income levels, and geographic regions. Panelists are accessible via e-mail for fast and efficient analysis of quantitative market perspectives. RFROC panel members answer research questions about their retirement saving/investment preferences. Within hours, RFROC can provide statistically relevant information on what markets have to say about investment products (mutual funds, stocks, bonds, real estate, annuities, etc.), image, service, fees, investment habits and associated combinations.

RFROC research provides the ultimate tool for predicting market behavior rather than reacting to it. They offer an ideal instrument for tracking financial products, and retirement saving or distribution trends. RFROC reports are perfect for customized research projects, overnight studies, regular monitoring of issues, and low cost participation in omnibus studies.
