Total U.S. retirement assets were valued at $17.6 trillion in 2007, up more than six percent over 2006. The largest part of these assets is divided almost evenly among individual retirement accounts, defined contribution plans and government pension plans. However, IRAs and annuities posted the biggest compound annual growth rates.
The United States is confronted with major issues that are shaping retirement planning and retirement products. A look at the big picture starts with a fundamental question: What is retirement? It then introduces economic, social and political issues that shape the national conversation about retirement and the individual’s role in planning for his or her own retirement.
