The Annuity Truth About Bonuses, Rates, Caps & Spreads: Shootin’ It Straight With Stan
Manage episode 445380505 series 2798004
In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:
Annuity marketing gimmicks
The complexity of Indexed Annuities
What annuities are for
Key Takeaways:
Bonuses for annuities are marketing gimmicks and provide no real value. Contractual guarantees are the most important aspect of annuities.
Indexed annuities are complex products with components like caps, spreads, and participation rates that limit upside gains. These components can change annually, making the product difficult to understand.
Annuities are designed for risk transfer through contractual guarantees, not market growth. Traditional investment vehicles are better options for market growth.
"Annuities, regardless of the type are transfer of risk, contractual, guaranteed products. It's a contract between you and the life insurance company." — Stan The Annuity Man.
