Course Overview

What is an annuity?

Annuities are typically the most misunderstood financial product. They can provide lifetime income, principal protection, and an alternative to other investments. Annuity contracts can be complex from both design and income tax perspectives. There are many types of annuity contracts, as well as many applications for an annuity in the client's personal financial plan.

As a personal financial planner, you must be educated on the numerous applications and products available, and the tax consequences of annuities, to offer a reasoned opinion to clients regarding annuities in their overall financial plan.

Annuities similar to other financial instruments seem to get a bad reputation. From fees to returns, many individuals and even financial firms despise annuities. Annuities can play a valuable role in providing guarantees and strengthening an overall retirement plan. Annuities are a very solid investment when discussed properly with clients.
