Retirement Security Working Group (RSWG) - NAIC

  • 1) We want you to know that Financial Education is important, but that many other groups are better situated to design deliver and evaluate education than NAIC is.  
  • We think NAIC's most important role in Retirement Security is to make sure that consumers can safely buy well-designed insurance products in stable insurance markets.
  • ... NAIC should focus it's efforts on consumers who have fewer resources.

  • 3) 4th Graders / 12th Graders
  • Teachers are going to teach what they know and what they are interested in and Insurance will be one of the items that gets short changed....
  • So..... this concept of Just in Time education ....suggests that it will be most effective after high school.

  • Knowledge lets consumers make rational decisions...
  • However, as I say often, consumers do not make rational decisions....
  • We know that knowledge is necessary to make a plan... so, that we can get the security we want in our lives.
  • Our attitudes, our beliefs... they really come from our life experiences and they point us to different actions...
