Misconceptions About Annuities For Retirement

Annuities are the subject of numerous myths and misconceptions. Why do some financial professionals think they’re bad? You may have heard them say as much. To begin with, a lot of brokers profit more from managing your money in the stock market, moreso than they would by selling you an annuity. Thus, it’s better for them if you leave your money in the market. Another important distinction is that there are different types of annuities, and some may be more helpful to your situation than others.

Some types of annuities expose your money to risk, as it’s invested in the stock market and could lose value in the event of a drop. However, there are other types of annuities that can offer guaranteed* protection, no matter what happens in the market. And these are the type that we focus on. A fixed indexed annuity (FIA) can offer you both guaranteed* principal protection, and indexed interest at a reasonable rate of return.** For some, this combination of benefits makes an annuity the perfect retirement option for them.
