Wells Fargo & Company Research Report

On September 19, 2013, Wells Fargo & Company (Wells Fargo) released the results of a study entitled Wells Fargo Affluent Women Retirement Survey. According to the study results, more than two out of five working married affluent women (44%), aged 40-69, reported that they earn at least the same amount (20%) or more (24%) than their spouses. According to the Company, the telephone survey  which was supervised by Koski Research, examined 600 women with a median of $455,000 in investable assets and $145,000 in household income, in turn reviewing affluent women and their insight regarding wealth, investing and retirement. Karen Wimbish, Director of Retail Retirement at Wells Fargo, commented, "Today's affluent women are financially savvy working women, but investing confidence doesn't follow hand in hand with increased wealth. Through our research, we see that investing confidence seems to be the linchpin to so many other positive behaviors that would provide an opportunity for women to grow their savings and to build a solid foundation in retirement."

HSBC Holdings plc Research Report

On September 18, 2013, HSBC Holdings plc (HSBC) released the findings of a report called "The Future of Retirement: Life after work?," according to which at least one in eight workers believe that they cannot afford to fully retire. Majority of the retirees surveyed have less money than they expected, while others think that they gave up work too early. Simon Williams, Group Head of Wealth Management, HSBC, commented, "Generating an adequate income in retirement remains a major challenge for most people, given the financial conditions created by the global economic downturn. Today's workers should prepare for retirement as early as possible to have some certainty. Life is full of reasons to prioritise short-term spending over long-term planning, but the sooner people start saving, the less they are likely to need to carry on working in retirement."

The report further added that aided by tenacious support from low interest rates, along with a robust demand for exports, RBC projects real GDP growth of 1.8% in 2013 and 2.8% in 2014. Craig Wright, Senior Vice-president and Chief Economist, RBC, commented, "The improvements in the U.S. housing market, rising motor vehicles sales and increasing U.S. business investment in machinery will augment the rising demand for Canadian exports coming from the Euro-area and the U.K. as the pace of economic growth improves. We expect this pace of job creation to rise slightly on average through the forecast. This continuing support to household spending along with the improving external environment and rising investment will allow overall GDP growth to strengthen in 2014."
