Annuity Owners Significantly More Confident In Ability To Retire On Time
December 4, 2025 by Nationwide Retirement Institut
COLUMBUS, Ohio – High inflation, market volatility, potential Social Security cuts and lengthening lifespans have investors grappling with unprecedented anxiety about financial security in retirement – but those who own an annuity are feeling significantly more optimistic than their peers.
According to a recent survey from Nationwide, three-fourths (76%) of annuity owners are confident they will be able to retire when they want, compared to only 49% of those who do not own an annuity. However, the age investors plan on retiring has shifted since 2023 when Nationwide initially polled consumers between the ages of 45-60. This cohort now expects to retire at 64.3, six months later than in 2023 (63.7).
