How Your EQ Impacts Planning for Retirement Millions of baby
boomers will reach retirement age this year-many with high hopes
for the golden years. But there's a gap between retirement goals
and retirement planning. According to a recent study by Prudential
in partnership with the University of Connecticut, the reason may
be the Investor's Retirement Emotion Quotientsm or EQ. The
"Behavioral Risk in the Retirement Red Zone(R)" research report
explores the link between emotions and financial decision-making in
investors approaching or in The Retirement Red Zone, what
Prudential calls the important investment window five years before
and after retirement. The study identified five dominant emotions
that may influence investment decisions. These include fear,
regret, inertia, aggressiveness, and susceptibility. Fear and
regret are by far the most dominant emotions. Investors influenced
by fear may be less likely to take managed risks; and those
influenced by regret may be hesitant to take action that they might
regret. According to the survey, certain products like an annuity
could be a strategy that may help mitigate some of those risks. For

objectives, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before
investing. This and other important information are in the
