AXA Equitable Airs Third Episode in 'Retirement Reality Show' Series
A Walk in Central Park Reveals Serious Confusion About Protecting Retirement Assets
NEW YORK, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company released today the third in a series of "Retirement Reality Show" videos exploring the attitudes, behaviors and experiences of Americans as they prepare for and live through retirement.
The third episode in the company's "Retirement Reality Show" series, "Protecting Retirement – Not a Walk in the Park," juxtaposes candid interviews with real people talking about how they protect what's important to them.
"We took to Manhattan's Central Park to ask people a series of questions about protection," said Chris Winans, senior vice president, External Affairs at AXA Equitable. "We discovered that people are clear about insurance coverage for protecting their cars, homes, health and lives, but when it comes to protecting one of their most important and valuable assets – their retirement nest eggs – confusion reigns.
"No one would think of not paying to insure their real estate assets against loss, yet the ability to protect retirement assets was a foreign concept to most of the people we asked. Our goal in sharing these interviews is to encourage people to seek guidance about how to do that."
AXA Equitable's "Retirement Reality Show" video series complements the company's ongoing research and thought leadership programs on the issues surrounding retirement and serves as a platform for taking the public's pulse on financial risks and preparedness. The purpose of the series is to learn firsthand what real retirement savers and retirees are thinking and doing.
