Having American’s Best Interests at Heart: Simple Request for Financing Advice

Posted on May 20, 2016 by usdr in Business, Money, Politics // 0 Comments

By AARP, Special for  USDR

Today AARP released survey results that show 9 in 10 Americans agree with the recently announced US Department of Labor (DOL) rule that will require professional retirement plan advice to be in a client’s best interest. The survey comes as the US House of Representatives voted at the end of April to stop protections for retirement investors that require best interest advice. The rule, finalized at the beginning of April, is expected to save middle-class families billions of dollars per  year.

“Americans have been losing billions of dollars every year receiving retirement savings advice from financial advisors not committed to giving recommendations in their clients’ own best interest,” said AARP Executive Vice President Nancy LeaMond. “It’s telling that while all seem to publicly agree with this standard, many still want to stop this rule from going in to effect next  year.

Of the current or past retirement savings account holders  surveyed:

  • 88% believe it important that professional financial advisors give advice in the best interest of their clients. This includes an overwhelming majority of those who have (92%) and have not (79%) received financial advice.
  • 91% agree with the DOL rule that requires professional financial advice to be in a client’s best interest.
  • 80% have received professional financial advice in the past or expect to receive such advice in the future.
  • Across income levels, large majorities of consumers have received or expect to receive financial advice including:
  • 91% of those with annual household incomes of $75,000 or more
  • 78% of those with annual household incomes of $50,000 to $74,999
  • 72% of those with annual household incomes of $25,000 to $49,999
  • 66% of those with annual household incomes of less than $25,000

Methodology: This survey was conducted for AARP via telephone by SSRS, an independent research company. Interviews were completed from April 8 through April 17, 2016 among a nationally representative sample of 1,007 adults ages 25 and older who currently have–or who have had in the past—a retirement savings account.   Respondents were reached on landlines and cell phones, with 60% of the interviews completed on cell phones and the remaining 40% on landlines. The margin of error among all 1,007 respondents is +/- 3.7% at the 95% confidence  level.
