Employer-sponsored 401(k) plans help millions of Americans save for retirement, but not all those savings make it to retirement age, according to new research from Vanguard. According to the firm’s June research note, “Emergency Savings Protect Retirement Savings,” one-third of Vanguard plan participants who left their jobs in 2023 withdrew their 401(k) balance as a cash lump sum—often incurring withdrawal penalties and jeopardizing their retirement readiness.

But domestic demand remains weak and prices are still falling. The conventional wisdom identifies weak consumption as the culprit. The Chinese authorities have prioritised boosting household consumption. A 200 billion RMB (US$28 billion) programme was...

The Silent Crisis: Aging Populations and the Retirement Security Imperative

The global demographic shift toward an aging population is no longer a distant forecast—it is a present-day reality. By 2025, over 16% of the world's population will be aged 65 or older, a figure projected to rise to 25% by 2050. Yet, as lifespans extend, so too does a parallel crisis: the erosion of financial literacy among the elderly. This decline, driven by cognitive aging, digital disengagement, and systemic gaps in education, is creating a perfect storm of vulnerability...

México. La inversión como un mecanismo para el futuro financiero

Una de las condiciones que más afectan el bienestar futuro de la población adulta en México es la falta de esquemas sostenibles de ingresos para la vejez, especialmente aquellos que no dependan del gobierno, de familiares o de seguir trabajando.

What private assets in 401(k) plans mean for investors

Investors may soon have greater access to private assets — that is, investments that are not publicly traded — in their 401(k) or other workplace retirement plans. Financial advisors say that for many workers, the risks may outweigh the rewards. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday to increase the availability of alternative assets in 401(k) plans. The order instructs the Department of Labor to reexamine its guidance to employers and plan administrators on incorporating such assets into...

Argentinians on Wednesday gathered outside the country’s Congress to protest President Javier Milei’s decision to block raises in pension and disability funding.
