Paycheck or Pot of Gold? Helping Participants Navigate the Decumulation Dilemma

In this webinar, explore how DC participants approach decumulation: choosing steady income (annuities) or a lump-sum “pot of gold.” We’ll share highlights from MetLife’s 2026 study, including rapid depletion of lump sums and higher satisfaction among annuitants. Learn how participants make savings last, why employers are increasing focus on guaranteed income, and how you can support stronger retirement outcomes.
