In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed: 

• The four main concerns that annuity addresses

• Why you should stay away from fancy annuities 

• Things to consider when buying annuities 

 

Key Takeaways: 

• Annuity contracts are designed to address four key concerns: principal protection, lifetime income, legacy planning, and long-term care. However, not all annuities are created equal.

• Fancy annuities often come with a host of fees and complicated rules that can make them difficult to understand and manage. On the other hand, contractual annuities offer the same guarantees without the added complexity, providing the peace of mind and financial security you need without the headaches.

• When considering an annuity, it's essential to weigh your options carefully and choose a product that aligns with your goals and values. By opting for a contractual annuity, you can enjoy the benefits of principal protection, lifetime income, legacy planning, and long-term care, all while keeping things simple and easy to understand.

 

"I used to work with Dean Witter, Morgan Stanley, Paine Webber, UBS, where that was market-driven stuff. If you're going to be fancy, be fancy over there because you have real possibilities of real returns. With annuities, they're contracts. Never forget that. You cannot have your cake and eat it too." —  Stan The Annuity Man.
