Rethinking retirement

In the UK, BlackRock manages the pensions savings, on behalf of our clients, for over 12 million people. We believe that people deserve financial security across their lifetime, and that retirement should be within reach for everyone1.

At the same time, build over time — a secure, well-earned retirement is a much harder proposition than it was 30 years ago. And it’ll be a much harder proposition 30 years from now. People are living longer lives. They’ll need more money.

This predicament — which exists across the globe — leads us to conclude: It’s time to rethink retirement.
