Misconceptions About How Annuities Work
There are some myths and misconceptions in regards to how annuities work. You may have heard some professionals say that annuities are bad. Why do they say this?
Well, for starters, many brokers make money by managing clients’ money in the stock market. Although they make some money by selling an annuity, they simply earn more if you keep your money in the market. As a result, they’ll avoid recommending an annuity.
Also, it’s an important detail that not all annuity products are the same. Some annuity products do rely on the stock market, and the money in them could be lost in the event of a market downturn. However, rest assured, there are other types of annuities that come with a guarantee* of safety, and these are the types we offer. We mainly deal in fixed indexed annuities, or FIAs. These are the products that offer all of the benefits we mentioned earlier. FIAs can provide guaranteed* income for life, safety (even in bad market conditions,) and reasonable rates of return over time.
