Thanks for having me.
Really happy to be here.
So at the CRR, Center for Retirement Research, our mission is really to produce first-class accessible research for the policy community and practitioners in the private sector around retirement policy.
It's 1998 when the center was founded.
We've really built a reputation for being a kind of objective resource on all the major aspects of retirement policy.
So we just did a recent study on this where we looked at what individuals want to hold in terms of stock.
I mean, we have this huge shift that's been happening
since the 80s, from defined benefit plans to the defined contribution plans.
So defined benefits are kind of your, you know, the old working at GE your whole life, you know, you retire, if you have to work on the line, you get payments, a check coming in the mail for the rest of your days from the employer you work with.
That was the old way.
The new way is the 401k system, which is basically a glorified savings account that you invest
in the market and so that has its challenges for individuals where they're trying to depending on the market goes how that goes that's how their retirement goes essentially where that was not the case under the old model when the check came basically hell or high water you get the same amount in the mail so given that risk you know trying to understand given the market risk in 401ks
It's really important to understand how much individuals are comfortable with and whether they are taking on the risk that is right for them.
And so this research was really looking at that issue.
And so what we did is we surveyed individuals with about $100,000 or more in the markets.
We wanted people with money.
So to save, you have to have money.
You have to have assets.
And so that's the population we're looking at.
We asked them how much they'd like to hold.
