First Investors Corporation Can Help You Prepare for a Comfortable Retirement

New York, NY, May 6, 2011 - Despite an improving economy, many investors remain concerned about their ability to save for retirement.

The 2011 Retirement Confidence Survey conducted by the Employee Benefit Research Institute reveals that only 49% of workers say they are "confident" about the preparations they have made for retirement. This is a record low. According to the survey, 56% say they have less than $25,000 in savings and investments.

Saving for a comfortable retirement doesn't have to be difficult. And meeting with a First Investors Financial Services Representative is a good first step. A First Investors representative can help investors determine how much money they need to set aside to fund their retirement. He or she can also recommend a portfolio of mutual funds, annuities, life insurance and retirement programs, including Traditional and Roth IRAs, to help put their goals within reach.

Donald J. Judge, Director of Retirement Programs at First Investors Corporation, notes that individuals need to understand the importance of taking the time to develop a retirement strategy. "The Retirement Confidence Survey says that only 22% of respondents believe they are doing a good job of preparing financially for retirement. At First Investors, our representatives can give people a realistic estimate of how much money they will need at retirement." Mr. Judge says this can be a helpful first step, "because workers who have done a retirement needs calculation are more than twice as likely to be very confident that they will be able to accumulate the funds they need."
