We have recently noticed an increasing interest in annuities among our clients. In today’s episode, we’ll discuss how they stand apart from traditional stocks, bonds, and savings accounts. We’ll break down the two primary types of annuities- immediate and deferred- to provide clarity on how they work and debunk some common misconceptions about them as well.

Whether you're just beginning to explore these financial tools or seeking to demystify their workings, this episode is a valuable resource for anyone embarking on their retirement journey. Tune in as we explain why it’s so important to work closely with an experienced professional who can guide you in selecting the right annuity options for your unique situation.
Here is some of what we’ll discuss in today’s show:

• Annuities offer a unique advantage of providing retirees with a lifetime income stream, similar to a pension. Unlike other investment vehicles, annuities guarantee a steady income regardless of how long you live
• There are two primary types of annuities: immediate and deferred. Immediate annuities start providing income immediately after a lump-sum investment, while deferred annuities allow your money to grow over time, with the option to convert it into a lifetime income stream in the future.
• While annuities offer security and guaranteed income, they may also have trade-offs. It's essential to work with a financial advisor who understands your specific goals and needs, as well as the nuances of different annuity products. Annuities can be valuable tools in retirement planning, but they aren't one-size-fits-all solutions.
