9. Retail Investors Did Not Panic in 2025 Sell Off…..401(k) savers stayed on course through market volatility, Fidelity found
Via Yahoo!Finance: Retirement savers reached an average savings rate of 14.3% in the first quarter, a new record. Kerry Hannon · Senior Columnist
Retirement savers weathered a chaotic stretch of market gyrations in the first three months of the year, consistently adding to their savings, according to Fidelity Investments’ quarterly analysis.
While they experienced a drop in average 401(k), 403(b), and IRA balances, mostly due to market swings, savings rates remained consistent, with the average 401(k) savings rate increasing to a record 14.3%.
“We saw a lot of positive savings behaviors among employees,” Mike Shamrell, vice president of workplace thought leadership at Fidelity Investments, told Yahoo Finance.
“It was really encouraging to see that despite a lot of things going on, and economic ups and downs, people continued to save and didn’t pull back, or make a lot of changes to their asset allocation,” he said. “As a result, we saw the individual 401(k) savings rate increase to the highest level that we've seen.”
To break it down, the average employee contribution rate was 9.5%, and the employer contribution rate was 4.8%. This combined savings rate of 14.3%, up from 13.5% in 2020, is the closest it's ever been to Fidelity's suggested savings rate of 15%.
