Jackson Financial has released findings from its latest research in the Security in Retirement Series, highlighting consumers' increasing pessimism about financial security amid inflation concerns.

Conducted with Boston College's Center for Retirement Research, the study reveals that over half of consumers are more pessimistic about their financial outlook than they were in 2021, with 30% being much more pessimistic post-2022's inflation peak. Notably, more than half of surveyed consumers were unclear about current inflation rates, indicating a low level of awareness.

Diversification is the top strategy recommended by financial professionals to mitigate inflation risk. Additionally, 42% of professionals in 2023 advised increasing allocations to annuities with guarantees, up from 32% during 2021-2022. Consumers who followed professional advice lost less purchasing power to inflation compared to those who did not.

The study also explores inflation's differing impacts on pre-retirees versus retirees and how news sources influence economic perceptions. The survey involved 400 financial professionals and over 1,500 consumers aged 55-85.
