Ron Roberts, founder and CEO of Roberts Retirement Group, about the essential topic of longevity planning in retirement. With over 35 years of experience in financial services, Ron shares his journey into the industry, sparked by a friend's success in financial planning. The conversation delves into the importance of adapting retirement strategies to account for increasing life expectancies, emphasizing how better health and lifestyle choices contribute to longer lives.

Longevity planning has emerged as a crucial aspect of retirement strategy, particularly in response to two significant trends: the decline of traditional pensions and the increasing life expectancy of individuals. As people live longer, the need for guaranteed lifetime income strategies has never been more essential.

Historically, a substantial portion of the U.S. workforce relied on employer-provided pensions. When Ron Roberts began his career in financial services in 1990, approximately 76% of workers had access to these guaranteed income sources. Pensions offered retirees a reliable paycheck for life, regardless of how long they lived. However, this landscape has changed dramatically over the years.

Many companies have phased out traditional pension plans in favor of 401(k) plans, which do not guarantee lifetime income. Instead, 401(k) plans place the responsibility on individuals to manage their retirement savings, often leading to uncertainty about whether their funds will last throughout their retirement years. This shift has left many retirees concerned about the possibility of outliving their savings.

Advancements in healthcare and improvements in lifestyle continue to enhance the quality of life, resulting in longer lifespans. This increase in life expectancy raises important questions about retirement planning. Individuals must now consider not only how to accumulate wealth for retirement but also how to ensure that their savings will sustain them for potentially two to three decades after they stop working.

With the reality that many retirees may spend 20 to 30 years in retirement, the risk of running out of money becomes a pressing concern. This is where longevity planning comes into play, focusing on creating strategies that provide guaranteed income for life, regardless of how long an individual may live.

To address the challenges posed by the decline of pensions and increased longevity, financial advisors like Ron Roberts emphasize the importance of guaranteed lifetime income strategies. These strategies often involve utilizing products from legal reserve companies, primarily insurance companies that specialize in protecting pensions. By transferring funds from traditional investment accounts into legal reserve accounts, retirees can secure their principal and ensure that their growth is protected.

One effective approach is to use indexed products tied to various market indexes, such as the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones Industrial Average. These indexed products can provide growth potential while also offering protection against market downturns. The key is that they allow retirees to benefit from market gains without the risk of losing their principal, thus ensuring a more stable income stream throughout retirement.

Ron shared: "T he objective is growth every year, without worrying about the stock market."
