We’ve all been through a lot. And we’re anxious
to rebuild. The Principal® is making it easier:
Rebuilding resources for advisors
The Principal invites advisors to tap into newly created
resources to help their clients rebuild:
n Robust toolkits including quizzes, calculators and
step-by-step guides
n Research on retirement trends and financial confidence
n Benchmarking tools, case studies, white
papers and more, all located at
principal.com/planningcenter
Rebuilding retirement savings
Curious how long it may take to rebuild
your 401(k) retirement savings? Our Retirement
Rebuilding Estimator can help. You can also get an
idea of how increased contributions may affect the time
to rebuild. Results are based on an Employment Benefit
Research Institute study of more than 21 million 401(k)
participants. The tool is available at principal.com/rebuild.
Rebuilding your business
The Principal is helping business owners prioritize long-
term financial needs and fill gaps created (or worsened)
by the economic downturn. And the process is simple.
Financial professionals walk business owners through the
three quick steps of a Business Owner Gap Analysis:
1) Assess needs. 2) Identify financial gaps. 3) Determine
strategies to get back on track.
