Juggling midlife

Determining peer comparison group
The peer benchmarks displayed were developed in partnership with the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI). The benchmarks were created by analyzing the account balances and contribution levels from EBRI’s Retirement Security Projection Model that draws information from a data set of 24.9 million 401k participants as of December 31st, 2014. A participant’s peer segment is selected based on their age and nearest salary, which is broken down into $5,000 increments. Participants who are earning $20,000 or less are considered to be in the same salary segment.

*The use of the terms of “financial advisor” or “advisor” for purposes of the survey questions and responses by both the consumers and the financial advisors queried does not necessarily imply that the individual is a registered investment adviser (RIA). The use of these two terms is meant in a general sense of the word or phrase to describe working with an investment advisor, a licensed insurance agent or other financial professionals who may sell annuity products.
