  1. A behavioral case for annuities (opens troweprice.com)

    T. Rowe PriceResearch from an asset manager

    T. Rowe Price researchers look at how retirees actually spend and find most try to preserve their savings: 78% say keeping a certain account balance matters, and real spending falls about 2.3% a year on average. They argue annuities may be better received when framed as a way to protect assets and lifestyle rather than only as longevity insurance.

  2. How to turn retirement savings into reliable income (opens corporate.vanguard.com)

    VanguardResearch from an asset manager

    Vanguard sets out a decision framework for turning savings into retirement income rather than a single prescribed strategy. It organizes the choices around purpose, covering essential costs with reliable income, managing withdrawals and taxes, and simplifying, and argues that sustainable income is a better measure of success than account balances.

    T. Rowe PriceResearch from an asset manager

    Written for advisors, this piece frames retirement income planning around three questions: how much to spend, when couples should claim Social Security, and which accounts to draw from first. It cites T. Rowe Price research that two-thirds of pre-retirees do not know how much they can withdraw each month.
