About the survey
The online survey was conducted by Logica Research, among 2,000 Americans aged 55 to 75 with at least $100,000 in investable assets. The study was conducted from August 20th to September 4th, 2020. Quotas were set so that the sample is as demographically representative as possible of that population.
