    For years I’ve had the anti annuity mindset. Perhaps I need to add a fixed index annuity to my retirement plan. I’m especially interested in an annuity free of taxes.

    Thanks Lane for this insight on annuities. I'm currently researching this as an option. Like Dave Buchannan I've always had a negative view of annuities, but I'm starting to take a serious look at this option.

      @@FinancialFastLane Thank you for your reply. Cash also makes available funds for operating expenses so that depreciated assets don't have to be sold and cash also provides a means to purchase equities that have a negative premium to NAV. Growth equities should be a part of every retirement plan, preferably in a Roth. One size does not fit all! Interesting discussion. Thanks.

    • @Zeric1
      @Zeric1 Рік тому

      He didn't say there was no risk, he said annuities come with guarantees and no [stock] market risk. The risk, which I agree he should have explicitly mentioned, is that the annuity company goes out of business. That's why if one is going to have an annuity, it should only be part of the overall retirement plan, not the entire plan, and only the highest rated companies should be considered. I believe annuities could be a part of some people's retirement plan, depending on other factors, but they shouldn't provide more than 25% of one's income.

      @@jeanjasinczuk7543 I'm with you on that. The author of the video is not a CFP, but he is licensed to sell insurance products. I would rather use a fee only CFP (a fiduciary) that gives advice and makes recommendations, not a "financial advisor" who earns commissions on insurance sales and securities' trades. Always consider how the person is paid and be sure their personal financial interests align with yours.

    • @LivK458
      @LivK458 Рік тому

      Fees on annuities vary just like fees on mutual funds (Active vs Passive funds anyone?). Lower cost annuities include MYGAs and SPIAs, and Fee based annuities (no commissions). Variable annuities have the highest fees and are complicated. For instance, MYGAs are an alternative to CDs. Sometimes they have better rates (net fees), sometimes they don't. Shop around before deciding.

      They have high fees but if you have a relative who passed away and had a huge annuity, it might make sense to roll it into an annuity yourself to avoid taxes. That's the upside of the annuity, they are tax-deferred.
