Christopher Blunt, CEO of F&G Annuities and Life, has discussed retirement trends and the company's survey findings in multiple media appearances. In interviews with AM Best Audio, NYSE TV, and Nasdaq TradeTalks, he cited F&G's "Retirement Reconsidered" survey, which found that 70% of Americans over 50 are considering delaying retirement or returning to work, and that 23% of workers are delaying their planned retirement date, up from 14% the prior year. Blunt attributed these trends to factors such as inflation, longevity concerns, and a desire for intellectual stimulation, and he noted that many respondents worry about running out of money and rising healthcare costs. He also shared that he personally "unretired" in 2017 after briefly retiring, saying he missed the camaraderie and teamwork of leading teams. Blunt has also commented on the insurance industry's product offerings and growth prospects. In an interview with Insurance News Net, he described fixed index annuities as "the Swiss Army knife" of life products and said F&G's market potential is "quite unlimited," noting that products like registered index-linked annuities compete with mutual funds in a multi-trillion-dollar industry. He emphasized the importance of risk pooling and guaranteed lifetime income in annuities, and advised consumers to form a financial plan and consult a professional, stating that people often underestimate how much money they will need in retirement.
