Is an Annuity the Wrong Choice for You?

March 16, 2013 By Annuity Guys®

Should I or shouldn’t I – that is the question.

Many of our site visitors struggle with the decision to choose an annuity for a portion of their retirement. No one wants to make a poor decision regarding their retirement security yet the volume of commentary on how to structure retirement is overwhelming.

How do you know if you are making the right decisions?

If you are considering an annuity for a portion of your retirement income or safety of principal, we would encourage you to focus on the **guarantees. If you can be happy with the **guarantees, then anything above the or **guaranteed growth is icing on the cake.

[embedit snippet=”video-specialist-button”]

 

**Guarantees, including optional benefits, are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuer, and may contain limitations, including surrender charges, which may affect policy values. During this segment, Dick and Eric are referring to Fixed Annuities unless otherwise specified.

Insider Owners Manual

This week we are sharing with you one of our new annuity tools that we are  making available in our premium section – The Annuity Owners Manual. This concise brochure summarizes the types of annuities and the type of person who might consider these different annuities. Also, it poses a few key questions that you want to get answered prior to sitting down with a local advisor. Click here or on the booklet for your copy.

Dick and Eric discuss highlights of the Annuity Owners Manual and why you’ll want a copy for yourself.

MUST KNOW FACTS 90% of
ANNUITY ADVISORS AVOID TELLING!

    Second Opinions Improve Retirements
     
    "For Your Retirement's Success"
     Choose a *Fiduciary Advisor who gives you Full Disclosure of Cost & Selection.
     
    Material Fact 1:
      About 90% of advisors ARE NOT REQUIRED by law to do what is best for their clients!
     
    Material Fact 2:
     Fiduciary Advisors ARE REQUIRED by law to do what's best for their clients! 
     
      Hence, clients of a fiduciary can know that their advisor chose the highest legal standard required by law to work strictly for their highest good.
     
     We estimate Fiduciaries are less than 10% of total U.S. financial service providers. Fiduciaries are held to the highest client legal standard of financial planning and investment advice.
     
     The other 90% are sales oriented advisors, brokers, bank reps, registered reps. & insurance agents, selling products on a much lower suitability legal standard, not necessarily what's best for their client!
     
       Fiduciaries also must disclose conflicts of interest that could potentially bias their advice, such as; selling products that pay them higher commissions having higher fees or costs, and their lack of investment product access limiting their client's opportunities, to name a few.
