T. Rowe Price Study Highlights Key Retirement Trends and Investment Themes\n公司：TROW\n\nT. Rowe Price's 2024 Defined Contribution Consultant Study reveals significant shifts in retirement income perspectives among consultants and advisors. The study, involving 35 leading firms with over $7.5 trillion in assets under advisement, shows a marked change in DC plan sponsors' stance on retirement income. In 2021, 59% of sponsors had no opinion on retirement income, but this figure dropped to 19% in 2024, indicating increased engagement.\n\nPersonalization is increasingly valued, especially as participants near retirement, with strong support for managed accounts as an opt-in option. However, target date solutions remain the preferred qualified default investment alternative (QDIA).\n\nThe study also notes a shift in fixed income and capital preservation strategies due to rising interest rates. 89% of firms now focus on diversification opportunities, up from 48% in 2021. There's growing support for non-traditional bonds in target date solutions and a preference for active management in return-seeking fixed income strategies.\n\nAdditionally, there's a trend towards transitioning from mutual funds to collective investment trusts (CITs) for target date solutions, driven by CITs' cost-effective fee structures. A blended approach of active and passive strategies is gaining traction for its cost benefits and reduced tracking error. Emergency savings programs are expected to become more common, with 70% of firms predicting their rise in the next three to five years.
