Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.
All U.S. households need well-designed, universally accessible tools and supports to help them both save and invest. Working with a dynamic community of cross-sector leaders, Aspen FSP aims to spark and scale bold policy and market solutions that can ensure everyone’s success with building emergency savings and investing in capital markets for long-term goals such as retirement, home ownership, higher education, and beyond.
What We Do
Bolstered by convenings, research, and partnerships, we work on three solution areas.
Investing in Future Generations
We are championing early wealth building accounts that help every young person enter adulthood with money they can invest in their future for greater long-term success.
Our convenings and research spur innovative change with America’s retirement savings system to make it more accessible and more effective for lower-wage workers currently not benefiting from it.
Launched in 2017,this annual Forum brings together leaders from industry, government, consumer advocacy, academia, and beyond under Chatham House Rule to grapple with the issues that have prevented our country from building the inclusive, adequate savings system necessary to achieve retirement security for all.
