Retirement Savers Seeking Protection Amid Market Volatility: Allianz

Aug 23, 2019

Nearly three in four affluent respondents to an Allianz Life survey said they’d be willing to give up some gains for protection.

Second-quarter market volatility is making Americans increasingly worried about their finances and retirement savings, with only 31% in a new survey saying they were comfortable with market conditions and ready to invest, down two percentage points from the previous quarter and four points from last year’s first quarter.

The latest market perceptions study from Allianz Life also found that more Americans feared the approach of a major recession in the second quarter than in the 2019 and 2018 first quarters — 48% vs. 46% and 44% — or major market crash — 47% vs. 46% and 42%.
