"Transition boomers," or people between the ages of 55 and 65, said they would protect their retirement savings with a guaranteed return rather than watching their assets lose value in the market. A 2013 Transition Boomers and Retirement Income survey from Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America found these results "despite the (stock) market’s strength.
Specifically, 87% of Transition Boomers surveyed reported being more attracted to a financial product with 4% return that is guaranteed not to lose value over one with 8% return but with the possibility of losing value due to market downturns. This feeling was higher among: women (91% versus 82% of men), those with under $50,000 in annual household income (92% versus 83% of those with more than $50,000 in annual household income), and those without children at home (87% versus 79% with children at home).
There is a strong parallel between the issues facing those surveyed for the Allianz study and those who are due to receive settlements from the settlement of a lawsuit arising from losses suffered due an auto accident, medical malpractice, an aircraft or helicopter crash, construction accident, gas explosion, maritime disaster. For the latter, structured settlements may be part of a great solution for these people.
