How an Insurance Provider Used Compeers AI to Identify Retirement-Planning and Annuity Opportunities

Quick summary
  • Compeers AI helped an insurance company identify opportunities in the retirement planning and annuity space combining survey analysis, cross-tabulation, statistical testing, demographic comparisons, visualization, and decision-ready recommendations.
  • The study examined retirement readiness, savings allocation, annuity consideration, financial decision-making, insurance features, and preferred information and purchase channels.
  • Household structure was more predictive than gender: three-person households showed the strongest annuity consideration, with 75% willing to consider guaranteed lifetime income.
  • Gender did not significantly affect annuity consideration, indicating that positioning should focus on household needs rather than gender-based targeting.
  • Women allocated a greater share of funds to retirement planning, while medium-sized households represented the strongest opportunity for family-oriented products.
  • The findings supported product design, targeting, education, distribution, and channel planning.

What business challenge did the insurance provider need to solve?

The provider needed to understand how consumers prepare for retirement and evaluate retirement-income products.

The research examined retirement planning activities, expected savings and expenses, financial decision-making, annuity consideration, desired product features, and information and purchase channels. It also needed to identify which household and demographic characteristics meaningfully influenced interest.

How did Compeers AI execute the insurance consumer research?

Compeers AI analyzed a 31-question survey completed by approximately 350 adults. The questionnaire included screening, numeric and multi-select questions, percentage allocations, agreement scales, rankings, and channel matrices.

The platform produced consumer profiles, cross-tabulations, statistically significant comparisons, charts, an executive summary, and recommendations in one workflow. This connected household composition and retirement behavior with product interest and channel preferences.

What did the retirement-planning research reveal?

Nearly 80% of respondents lived in households with two to four members, and almost nine in ten had no more than three financially dependent family members. Three-person households were the most common and showed the strongest annuity consideration: 75% would consider converting part of their assets into a lifetime-guaranteed annuity, compared with approximately 60% of two-person households.

Gender did not meaningfully influence annuity consideration. However, women were more likely than men to allocate 41% to 80% of their funds toward retirement planning, including medical, daily-living, and leisure expenses.

Information preferences also varied. Women placed greater value on family and friends and insurer websites, while medium-sized households responded more positively to print media, educational workshops, and banks.

How could the insurance provider use the findings?

The provider could prioritize annuity and family-oriented retirement products for medium-sized households, particularly three-person households, while keeping core annuity messaging gender-neutral.

It could tailor retirement-savings and medical-expense communications to women, develop educational content for households earlier in the planning journey, and align outreach channels with consumer preferences.

This use case demonstrates how Compeers AI can turn complex life insurance and retirement research into verifiable guidance for product development, segmentation, communication, distribution, and customer education.
