    Thanks,for your insights on Indexed Annuity Products. As a newcomer into this industry – I have come to realize, rather quickly, how these products can benefit older clients who are weary of the cycles that the equity markets provide. With fixed minimun interest rates, and a small exposure to the equities, these products offer stability, and an inflation hedge that retirees and those considering retirement are more apt to understand and utilize. As you are more aware than I, variable annuities offer many moving parts & fees that many independent advisors as well as their respective clients – don’t always understand 100%. Thank you for the oppurtunity to be in your audience –
    Cordially yours,
    Sam Ramos

    Sam,
    Just a slight correction- indexed annuities actually have NO exposure to equities. The monies that back indexed annuities are held in the insurer’s general account, where they are protected from equity exposure. However, indexed annuities do receive interest BASED ON the performance of the index.

    Thank you for your kind words! My best to you in this wonderfully-satisfying business that we call ‘life insurance!’
