One of the most common questions I get is, “Are annuities a good investment for retirees or pre-retirees?” Because there is so much inaccurate information surrounding annuities, I thought it would be a great topic to cover.

We recommend that you review your situation with a qualified advisor before making a financial or investment change to ensure it is the best decision for you and your situation.

Annuities may be a good or bad decision depending on your situation.
