In the news - Kent Sluyter wrote a very good article predicting key trends in the annuity world in 2019 for Insurance News Net. Mark, Will, and Paul explore his third trend, "Complexity Fades; Fixed Annuities Gain Share." Sluyter expects growth to continue in this product line primarily because of the income needs of a growing population of retirees. Picking up on that theme, our hosts take a walk through all the various options available on popular fixed indexed annuities available for consumers to create their own income streams. Hopefully, you can use some of these explanations at your next client presentation.
