(Graphic: Business Wire)\n \n\n\n\n\n\nPGIM also finds individuals approaching retirement had lowest average retirement confidence scores in Q4 2023\nNEWARK, N.J., February 05, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PGIM, 1 the $1.2 trillion global investment management business of Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU), finds that retirement and financial confidence have lingered at \"below average\" levels since the second quarter of 2022, according to the firm’s new PGIM RetireWell™ Confidence Index. In addition, the gap between financial confidence and retirement confidence has widened dramatically since the start of 2022, which could indicate that while investors may feel relatively secure in their investments today, they worry greatly about the future.\nThe 2022 dive in retirement confidence coincides with the start of one of the most turbulent years for investors, with the S&P 500 index losing approximately 19.4%—one of the worst years for equities since 2008— in addition to pressures from high inflation and interest rate hikes. Not only was 2022 a tough year for stocks, but bonds also had one of their worst years on record, leaving few safe places for investors to park their money.\n\"2022 was a relatively traumatic year for investors, where both stocks and bonds experienced double-digit losses. This is incredibly rare, historically,\" explains David Blanchett, PGIM DC Solutions portfolio manager and head of retirement research. \"If the economy keeps doing relatively well, I wouldn’t be surprised if financial confidence meets or exceeds 2021 levels at some point in 2024, but it will clearly take some time before retirement confidence returns to where it was.\"\nPGIM’s quarterly report provides a breakdown of retirement and financial confidence scores across age and household income levels, ranging from 0 (low confidence) to 100 (high confidence). Alarmingly, individuals between 45 and 59 years of age, those approaching retirement, had the lowest average retirement confidence score (37) among age groups. This emphasizes the importance of personalization when it comes to financial advice and retirement solutions, as age alone often doesn’t tell the full story.\nMichael Miller, head of PGIM DC Solutions, added, \"We see the PGIM RetireWell Confidence Index as a value-add for employers who want a better understanding of how American workers are thinking and feeling about retirement and their finances in general. Our goal is to offer this wellness assessment more broadly, so that we can provide companies with plan-level insights to improve financial wellness over time.\"\nThe PGIM RetireWell Confidence Index is part of PGIM RetireWell™ Solutions, a suite of tools, products and solutions developed to help defined contribution plan participants achieve better retirement outcomes through holistic advice and guidance.\nAbout the PGIM RetireWell™ Confidence Index\nThe PGIM RetireWell™ Confidence Index is a comprehensive wellness sentiment index based on more than 300,000 completed responses to a financial wellness assessment survey offered by Prudential Financial, Inc. through a group insurance benefits platform or through a defined contribution plan since 2018.
