Ep 89: Mr. FIA-X: The Empty Promises Behind Fixed Index Annuities

In this episode, The Annuity Man and Mr. FIA-X discuss:  

• Avoiding upfront bonuses 
• Prioritizing the interests of the consumer 
• Market-like returns 
• The worst-case scenario for annuities 

 

Key Takeaways:  

• Don’t let yourself be fooled by upfront bonuses and not everybody needs an income rider. Be reminded that the purpose of annuities is to transfer your risk.  
• If you hear the sales pitch that you’ll get ‘market-like returns’, take your money and run. They don’t know what they’re talking about.  
• Index annuities are not an investment, they're transfer risk, principle protection products because the worst-case scenario is that you don’t lose any money.  

 

“Don’t ever-ever-ever confuse features on an annuity with benefits. Never” —  Mr. FIA-X
