059: FIA Insider Wears Mask to Protect Identity and Share Industry Secrets

“Fun With Annuities” The Annuity Man Podcast

In this episode, The Annuity Man discusses:

• The historical journey of indexed annuities and how they’ve gotten to where they are today.
• The questions to ask your advisor about your indexed annuities.
• The golden rule of annuities - they have the gold, so they make the rules.
• The problems with backtested numbers.

Key Takeaways:

• For anyone to say market upside with no downside or market participation with principal protection is misleading and blatantly false.
• If you get a big bonus with an annuity, you’re paying for it. You’re financing it over time (it’s not being given away by the annuity company).
• You need to understand why you want an indexed annuity before you shop for an indexed annuity.
• All annuity commissions are built into the cost, but they are hidden from the client.

"I think backtested numbers should be illegal. I think the stuff they put in brochures should be illegal. And here's why - because if you're looking at it now, you've already missed it." — Mr. FIA-X
