New Retirement Center

InvestmentNews will launch its online Retirement Center on Monday.
The launch comes directly on the heels of the first InvestmentNews 2007 Retirement Income Summit, which was held in New York last week.
The online Retirement Center is a one-stop-shopping hub for
news, tools and resources for financial advisers who offer their clients retirement-, estate- and tax-planning services.
The market for that type of advice is huge. There is about $12 trillion in retirement accounts, of which the majority is controlled by the 77 million baby boomers, according to a study by FundQuest Inc., a Boston-based provider of managed-account platforms.
In addition, the Retirement Center offers retirement industry research from corporate, academic and government experts; links to dozens of sources for retirement information and products; and access to retirement surveys and data such as the InvestmentNews report, “As the Mass Affluent Approach Re¬tirement: Opinions of Retirement and Retirement Income Planning,” which was based on focus groups of mass affluent investors ages 55 to 65 conducted nationwide.
The Retirement Center’s web address will be investmentnews.com/ retirementcenter.
