Survey Indicates Confidence in Business Climate and Renewed Consumer Interest in Retirement Planning

PALM HARBOR, Fla., May 10 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent online survey of retirement planners and financial advisors affiliated with USA Tax & Insurance Services ("USA Tax") shows growing confidence in the financial services industry and economic outlook.

The survey, conducted by an outside research firm, found that 52 percent of respondents are cautiously optimistic about the business climate for the financial services industry over the next 12-18 months, and 33 percent are highly optimistic.  

The survey also identified that 45 percent of respondents are seeing new client activity increasing compared to last year, indicating that consumers across the country are re-focusing on retirement planning and asset management activities.  

"What we have seen firsthand, and the survey confirmed, is that the financial services industry is bouncing back," said Joseph R. Karsner IV, President of USA Tax.  

He added, "Even more, those planners who avail themselves of all the products and services USA Tax offers are seeing their businesses grow at even higher rates. This is particularly true of those who are taking part in our customized coaching and mentoring program called TotalSuccess®.  The hands-on training and support is the difference-maker in helping our planners communicate effectively with consumers who are seeking out financial services in this confusing economic climate."  

USA Tax will share these and other survey highlights at its Seventh Annual USA Tax & Insurance Services Mid-Year Symposium, May 12th-14th in Chicago.
