The current retirement environment presents challenges, not only over the period for which interest rates remain low, but also once interest rates appreciably increase. This chapter addresses two related questions: first, how have households responded to the current low interest rate environment, and second, are there alternative responses or investments which households might do well to consider? We employ the Health and Retirement Study to first investigate impacts of the low interest rate on savings, wealth, and asset allocation. We also report on a subset of households who were relatively successful at building and preserving wealth over this period. Following this, we consider alternative portfolio and wealth management strategies targeting increases in equities and delayed claiming of Social Security in terms of their potential to add value in persistent low return environments.

AbstractUsing regulatory data free of self-reporting bias for 2007–16, we decompose investment returns of 455 Dutch pension funds according to their key investment decisions, i.e., asset allocation, market timing and security selection. In extension to existing papers, we also assess the impact of benchmark selection. Over time, asset allocation explains 39% of the variation of returns, whereas benchmark selection, timing and selection explain 11%, 9% and 16%, respectively. Across pension funds, asset allocation explains on average only 19% of the variation in pension fund returns. Benchmark selection dominates this by explaining 33% of cross-sectional returns. We relate the choice for a specific benchmark to investment, risk and style preferences.
