Eric.

00:00:01.163 --> 00:00:02.010
Hi. Welcome.
3
00:00:02.010 --> 00:00:04.770
Where do you see the needs and opportunities
4
00:00:04.770 --> 00:00:06.243
in the retirement market?
5
00:00:07.590 --> 00:00:08.610
Really around...
6
00:00:08.610 --> 00:00:10.260
We've spent the last, as an industry,
7
00:00:10.260 --> 00:00:12.630
20 years helping people save for retirement.
8
00:00:12.630 --> 00:00:13.800
We've done a terrible job
9
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:15.810
of helping people figure out how to get down the mountain
10
00:00:15.810 --> 00:00:17.100
or de-accumulate,
11
00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:18.960
and there's some wonderful solutions on the market
12
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:20.490
to help people do that today.
13
00:00:20.490 --> 00:00:23.010
What potential does AI have
14
00:00:23.010 --> 00:00:25.110
in meeting those needs and opportunities?
15
00:00:25.110 --> 00:00:26.700
One of the things we've seen
16
00:00:26.700 --> 00:00:28.080
with target-date funds,
17
00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:30.300
every consumer, when we take the decisions out of their hand
18
00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:31.950
and we help them, they do better.
19
00:00:31.950 --> 00:00:35.340
AI will absolutely help the consumer make a better choice
20
00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:37.290
without them having to be involved.
21
00:00:37.290 --> 00:00:38.430
Explain how.
22
00:00:38.430 --> 00:00:39.263
Yes.
23
00:00:39.263 --> 00:00:42.030
So, people are paralyzed around anything financial,
24
00:00:42.030 --> 00:00:43.680
whether it's your taxes or whether it's saving
25
00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:45.750
or even buying a new car,
26
00:00:45.750 --> 00:00:46.740
and so what AI will do,
27
00:00:46.740 --> 00:00:48.480
is we'll be able to take all the information
28
00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:51.540
that we know about a participant and their behavior,
29
00:00:51.540 --> 00:00:54.210
and project that forward with really good data
30
00:00:54.210 --> 00:00:56.310
and make better decisions, for the most part,
31
00:00:56.310 --> 00:00:58.320
than they would make by themselves.
32
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.530
It's a difficult economic environment at the moment.
33
00:01:01.530 --> 00:01:06.150
What are you advising your clients, how to navigate that?
34
00:01:06.150 --> 00:01:08.160
So whether you're talking about inflation
35
00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:10.590
or market volatility or rising interest rates,
36
00:01:10.590 --> 00:01:11.460
what that's really done
37
00:01:11.460 --> 00:01:13.890
is created wonderful opportunities for what we do.
38
00:01:13.890 --> 00:01:16.050
They need us now more than ever, right?
39
00:01:16.050 --> 00:01:17.670
With all of that indecision,
40
00:01:17.670 --> 00:01:18.720
we come in and we help,
41
00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:20.340
whether it's with in-plan guarantees
42
00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:22.170
or helping them manage their accounts.
43
00:01:22.170 --> 00:01:23.400
Now is the perfect time
44
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:25.740
to lean into wealth management and advice.
45
00:01:25.740 --> 00:01:26.890
Eric, thanks so much.
