045: Fixed Index Annuities - Are They a Good Investment?

“Fun With Annuities” The Annuity Man Podcast

In this episode, The Annuity Man discusses:

• Understanding how a fixed index annuity works, rather than how it is pitched.
• The dangers in backtested numbers (and why they should be illegal in all 50 states).
• Stripping away the complication of the fixed index annuity.
• Shopping around for your annuity and asking for a specimen policy.

Key Takeaways:

• Fixed index annuities can be used as an efficient and cost-effective delivery system for the income rider guarantee.
• The renewal rate is where the game is played with index annuities.
• There are over 700 index options currently available.
• If you want market growth, never buy an annuity.

"Fixed indexed annuities are a good investment if you fully understand how to use them, and fully understand how they are designed, and fully understand the realistic return expectations you should have." — Stan The Annuity Man
