- Launch of the Morningstar Model of U.S. Retirement Outcomes, a new simulation tool for assessing retirement income sufficiency
- Identification of actionable insights for policymakers and plan sponsors to improve product design
- Potential for future use of the model to inform debates on enhancing retirement outcomes
- 57% of workers without future defined-contribution plan participation may face retirement shortfalls
- 45% of American households predicted to run short of money in retirement

The launch of Morningstar's new Model of US Retirement Outcomes is a significant development in the retirement planning industry. This sophisticated simulation tool could potentially reshape how retirement adequacy is assessed and addressed in the United States.
From an investor's perspective, this model's findings have several implications:
- Defined-contribution plans are crucial: The stark contrast in retirement shortfall risk between those with and without future defined-contribution plan participation (
21% vs57% ) underscores the importance of these plans. This could drive increased demand for companies offering robust 401(k) plans, potentially benefiting firms in the financial services sector. - Demographic disparities: The model's revelation of significant retirement risk disparities across gender, race and generation could lead to targeted policy changes and new financial products. This may create opportunities for companies that can address these specific demographic needs.
- Retirement age impact: The substantial reduction in shortfall risk by delaying retirement (from
54% at age 62 to28% at age 70) could influence workforce dynamics and potentially affect industries relying on older workers.
For Morningstar (NASDAQ: MORN), this model could strengthen its position in the retirement research and advisory space, potentially driving growth in its retirement solutions segment. However, the real value lies in how this tool might influence policy decisions and industry practices, which could have far-reaching effects on the entire financial sector.
Morningstar's new retirement model is a game-changer in understanding the complexities of retirement planning in the US. Its granular approach, considering individual characteristics, healthcare costs and longevity, provides a more nuanced view of retirement readiness than previously available.
Key market implications include:
- Product development opportunities: The model's findings highlight gaps in retirement preparedness, especially among certain demographics. This could spur innovation in financial products tailored to these underserved segments, creating new market opportunities.
- Shift in retirement services: With the model emphasizing the importance of employer-sponsored plans, we might see increased demand for retirement plan administration services and related technologies. Companies in this space could see significant growth.
- Policy influence: The model's ability to simulate various scenarios could make it a powerful tool for policymakers. Any resulting policy changes could reshape the retirement landscape, affecting everything from Social Security to tax-advantaged savings accounts.
Moreover, the model's focus on improving participation rates and plan features like auto-enrollment and emergency savings accounts could drive changes in how employers structure their benefits packages. This could create ripple effects across the human resources and benefits management industries.
In essence, while this model is a research tool, its potential to influence policy, product development and market dynamics makes it a significant development for investors to watch.
Morningstar's new Model of US Retirement Outcomes is a pivotal development in retirement policy research. Its comprehensive approach, incorporating individual characteristics, healthcare costs and longevity projections, provides a more accurate picture of retirement readiness than previous models.
Key policy implications include:
- Urgency for expanded plan access: With
57% of those without future defined-contribution plan participation at risk of retirement shortfalls, there's a clear need for policies to expand access to these plans, particularly for small businesses and gig economy workers. - Addressing demographic disparities: The significant gaps in retirement risk across gender and racial lines (
55% for single females,61% for Hispanic Americans,59% for non-Hispanic Black Americans) highlight the need for targeted policy interventions to address these inequalities. - Generational challenges: The higher risk for Baby Boomers and Gen X (
52% and47% respectively) compared to younger generations underscores the need for policies to help older workers catch up on retirement savings. - Retirement age considerations: The substantial reduction in shortfall risk by delaying retirement could influence debates around Social Security retirement age and policies to support longer working lives.
This model's ability to simulate various scenarios could make it a powerful tool for policymakers to test the potential impacts of different retirement policies. It could lead to more evidence-based policymaking in areas such as tax incentives for retirement savings, auto-enrollment mandates and reforms to Social Security and Medicare.
For investors, understanding these potential policy directions is crucial, as they could significantly impact the retirement landscape and, by extension, the financial services industry and broader economy.
Using the model, Morningstar researchers found workers without future defined-contribution plan participation are over twice as likely to run short of money in retirement
“The model paints a clear picture: Participating in an employer-sponsored defined-contribution plan significantly lowers the risk of retirement shortfalls,” said Spencer Look, the report’s lead author and associate director of retirement studies for the Morningstar Center for Retirement & Policy Studies. “Our model not only sets a new standard in retirement research, but we’ll be able to identify actionable insights for policymakers and plan sponsors to improve product design, all with the goal of helping more Americans reach their retirement goals.”
The research report, “Beyond the Retirement Crisis Headlines: Why Employer-Sponsored Plans Are the Key to Retirement Adequacy for Today's Workers,” suggests that certain demographics may be more likely to run short of money in retirement due to variables such as their current retirement savings, levels of financial resources, existing disparities in retirement account balances, and whether they participate in a defined-contribution plan. Takeaways from the report include:
-
When comparing retirement funding ratios for Gen Z, millennials, and Gen X households in
the United States , the research finds57% of those who do not participate in a defined-contribution plan in the future may not be able to sustain projected retirement expenses, compared with21% for those with at least 20 years of future participation. The career-long 401(k) participants who are at risk likely cash out their balances upon a job change or deplete their accounts via pre-retirement withdrawals. -
Across the
U.S. , the model predicts approximately45% of American households will run short of money in retirement. Moreover, about55% of single females may be at risk in retirement, compared with41% of couples and40% of single males. -
A socioeconomic disparity exists:
61% of Hispanic Americans and59% of non-Hispanic Black Americans are projected to run short of money, compared with approximately40% for both non-Hispanic other Americans and non-Hispanic white Americans. -
Nearly
54% ofU.S. households could experience retirement shortfalls if they retire at 62 years old, compared with45% if retiring at 65. This can be improved by waiting until age 67 (38% ) or age 70 (28% ). -
Looking across generations, baby boomers and Gen X have a higher risk of experiencing retirement shortfalls (
52% and47% , respectively) compared with millennials (44% ) and Gen Z (37% ). The shift from defined-benefit pensions to defined-contribution plans left baby boomers and Gen X with less time to accumulate savings. Younger generations, moreover, benefit from more recent features like automatic enrollment, managed accounts, and target-date funds. - The retirement industry should focus on providing more Americans with access to an employer-sponsored plan and improve participation rates for those who already have access. Plan sponsors should consider adding auto-enrollment and additional features to a plan, such as a student loan match or an emergency savings account, to boost participation.
