Cetera Empowers Americans to Live Their Best Retirement

PR Newswire

LOS ANGELES, July 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Cetera, a leading financial advice firm, has collaborated with the Allianz family and Capital Group to introduce SetIncome, a first-of-its-kind solution that enables retirees to generate a reliable source of retirement income to last the rest of their lives. The solution is now being rolled out exclusively to financial advisors affiliated with Cetera. Clients working with a Cetera-affiliated financial advisor can use SetIncome to create a retirement income plan with guaranteed fixed annuity and asset management models, which includes American Funds by Capital Group.

As ten thousand baby boomers retire every day, and the average life expectancy continues to rise, the priorities of seniors will shift from growing assets to a reliable source of retirement income. Yet 70% of Americans feel financially unprepared to live to 100 and beyond, according to the Allianz Longevity Project. This generation must understand what their retirement income needs will be, develop a plan to protect their assets through times of market volatility and other unpredictable events, and continually re-evaluate and adjust their plan as efficiently as possible.

SetIncome is a cutting-edge new solution that offers a unique combination of annuities and traditional asset management strategies from industry leaders in investing, retirement solutions and risk management. Despite the high level of sophistication and complexity behind the tool, financial advisors can now create an optimized income strategy for their clients in just five clicks of a button.

Jacqueline Hunt, Member of the Board of Allianz SE, said, "The launch of SetIncome represents the strength of collaboration not just within the Allianz family – across Allianz Global Investors, Allianz Life, and PIMCO – but also with industry leaders like Cetera and Capital Group. These firms have come together to bring leading asset management and annuities solutions within a powerful technology platform to create better retirement outcomes and fill a critical gap in the marketplace, effectively disrupting the retirement income landscape."

Adam Antoniades, President of Cetera, said, "The boomer generation in the U.S. continues to be largely unprepared for retirement: unrealistic in their expectations, and under-saved; with only 55% having any money saved for retirement at all.  Those that feel most prepared have received professional advice and guidance and have included annuities in their overall retirement savings plan*. Cetera's Advice-Centric Experience® framework offers a revolutionary way for individuals to work with financial advisors to plan for retirement: with SetIncome, Cetera-affiliated financial advisors can help their clients seize control of their retirement journey, beyond wealth accumulation and retirement plan participation, to guaranteed income distribution throughout the span of their retirement."
