Welcoming the new administration and new ways to protect retirement savers!

Inauguration Day marks an important day in American history. We welcome new leaders to shape and inspire the American public. Donald Trump takes office as the 47th President of the United States at a critical point in history, with an opportunity to shape the future for retirement savings in America. But no matter who is in office, our number one priority is protecting investors from burdensome government policies, and giving you an opportunity to advocate for your financial future.
That’s why we’re proud to announce our partnership with the Help U.S. Retire campaign. This initiative, launched in collaboration with the Investment Company Institute (ICI), calls on policymakers to protect and strengthen the tax treatment of 401(k)s, IRAs, 403(b)s, and other voluntary retirement accounts—which millions of Americans rely upon to provide financial security well into their golden years.
As Congress considers the expiring 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Help U.S. Retire will rally middle-class American investors to put Congress on alert: they must protect Americans’ ability to save for their futures by making sure that the tax treatment Americans rely on for retirement savings isn’t used as a ‘pay-for’ to finance other government spending or tax changes.
Over the past 50 years, tax-advantaged retirement accounts have revolutionized retirement savings in the U.S. By encouraging a culture of saving and investing, they have helped Americans build nearly ten times the retirement assets per household than previous generations.
However, the expiration of the tax cuts brings renewed threats. Policymakers grappling with the federal deficit may consider cutting the tax benefits for voluntary retirement accounts—a move that could divert billions in retirement savings toward federal revenue.
The U.S. retirement system is a success story. It delivers retirement income across the economic spectrum and empowers Americans to plan for their futures with confidence. Secure Financial Future believes this forward progress must be preserved and expanded, not undermined.
Your voice is a powerful tool in ensuring that lawmakers understand the real-world implications of their decisions on the financial futures of millions of Americans. And now, the Help U.S. Retire campaign is mobilizing even more Americans to take action!

Together, we can ensure every American has the tools and opportunities they need to retire with dignity.
