US. BlackRock offers feedback to SEC on climate-risk disclosure proposal

On the other hand, pension annuities typically do not come with cost-of-living adjustments, making them susceptible to inflation risk. Here’s what to know. When you’re nearing retirement and are due a...

US. Younger Boomers May Outlive Their 401(k) Savings

Baby boomers are not renowned for their frugality, having grown up in an era of rapid economic growth, mass consumerism and a feeling that the money faucet will never turn off. In retirement, however, the money can run out — a risk some boomers face as they spend their way too quickly through their retirement accounts, according to a new study from the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College.
