In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed: 

  • Annuities are contracts 

  • How Indexed Annuities Should Be Used 

  • Don’t buy an annuity for market returns 

 

Key Takeaways: 

  • To say that something is “guaranteed and backtested” means that there is nothing guaranteed at all. Annuities are contracts; buy them for what they will do and not what they might do. 

  • Indexed Annuities have the potential to go down in value, but they can be used as an efficient delivery system for guaranteed lifetime income through an income rider attachment. 

  • If you want market returns, never buy an annuity. Annuity solves for four things: Principal protection, Income for life, Legacy, and Long-term care. 

 

"Do not buy the annuity dream because you're gonna own the contractual reality." —  Stan The Annuity Man.
