Should I Allocate Retirement Savings Into An Annuity?

by Hans HeggeJuly 16, 2017

Allocate Retirement Savings Want to augment your retirement savings with a steady stream of income? You might want to consider devoting a portion of your savings into an annuity. An annuity is a contract between you and an insurance company. You can make either a lump-sum payment or a series of payments. In return, you receive regular disbursements either within a month or at some time in the future. There are different types of annuities, but all fall under the two major categories: Deferred and Immediate. With an Immediate Annuity, you can start receiving your payments within 30 days after your initial investment. A Deferred Annuity is different, however. Your money is invested for a period of time until you are ready to start receiving disbursements. Most

In return, your money does not go down (only if you buy from one of our advisors), it only goes up (depending on the crediting option you choose). Also if you buy an income rider (you will pay a fee, should only be about 1%) you receive regular disbursements of that money until you’re no longer living. A staggering 84%

When is the Right Time to Get a Fixed Index Annuity?

by Hans HeggeApril 22, 2017

Fixed Index Annuities (FIA) are growing in popularity. Positioned to take over all other annuity products in sales, FIA products are offering the best of both worlds for investors. Protect Principal, Spark Growth You can both protect principal and spark significant growth with an FIA product.

With different formulas and competing companies offering the investment opportunity, it can be confusing to know when and where to buy. Financial advisors recommend the product for growth and protection. But financial advisors also warn to be wary of bad products with confusing returns. Plus, there are so many varieties of annuities available, it can be difficult to
