CANNEX: “A wide range of risks can threaten a secure and stable retirement for American retirees. Inflation can drive down the purchasing power of retirees’ accumulated assets. Low rates of return and high administrative fees on financial assets can reduce the flow of income that can be derived from retiree wealth. Unpredictable life events – such as a medical emergency or an unexpected need for long term care – can quickly deplete retirement savings. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, extended longevity can pose a risk to retirees who did not anticipate living so long and find themselves with insufficient assets” …..
