If you’re like most investors, market volatility can really set you on edge. Especially if you’re concerned about how a deflated market might impact the income you’ll need during retirement. The idea of having a guaranteed income stream can be very appealing for those who hope to hedge their investments against loss and the possibility of outliving their money. Cue the Annuity. An insurance-based product, Income Annuities sometimes feel like investments (because many have investment-like qualities when saving for retirement). They’re actually a long-term insurance contract designed to provide you with a paycheck for as long as you live (which sounds pretty great, right)? Unfortunately, because of their complexities there tends to be a lot of conflicting information about annuities, and some have gotten a bad rap as being expensive or difficult to decipher. This helpful, informative brochure debunks several of the myths and misperceptions about annuities. Hopefully, it will give you a better understanding of whether an annuity might be a good fit for you. As always, our goal is to educate and guide investors so they’re able to make informed decisions about their future.
