We are proud to share that our Chief Investment Officer and CEO, Steven Rogé, was recently featured in the Newsweek article, “The Real Reason Gen Zers Are Turning Their Backs on Pensions,” by journalist Melissa Fleur Afshar. In the piece, experts explore why today’s young professionals are rethinking traditional retirement paths, highlighting how shifting job structures, portable benefits, and evolving financial priorities have changed the meaning of long-term security.
Steven added important context, explaining that Gen Z isn’t rejecting pensions so much as entering a workforce where they no longer exist. He noted that these younger investors value portability, flexibility, and real-time control over their savings, using 401(k)s and other accessible tools to build adaptable, self-directed strategies. Steven also shared how Gen Z’s time-based investing mindset helps them stay disciplined and engaged, turning what might seem like a challenge into an opportunity for greater financial empowerment.
We’re honored to have Steven’s perspective featured in Newsweek and appreciate Melissa for including his insights in such a thoughtful and timely discussion about the future of retirement planning.
