The LGBT Financial Experience

Prudential Leaders and Actor Wilson Cruz Discuss LGBT Study

Prudential released a new study "The LGBT Financial Experience" in New York City on November 14, 2012. While the study found significant differences in the financial experience of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Americans, it highlighted a mutual sense of confidence in the future and overall good financial health, counterbalanced by significant concerns about retirement and equality of financial rights.

 

During the launch event, Prudential hosted a panel with actor Wilson Cruz; Prudential Chief Diversity Officer Michele Meyer-Shipp; Pat Brzozowski, diversity director with Prudential Agency Distribution; and John Myung, chief legal officer for Prudential International Insurance. Hear them discuss the findings from the study and the unique challenges the LGBT community faces with regard to retirement planning and saving.

"It is never too early to start saving or too late to educate yourself about these issues," says actor Wilson Cruz. "We can empower ourselves with the information provided. I'm hoping this is a catalyst for conversation."
