Annuities

When is the best time to buy an annuity?

You need to understand your goals for the money you wish to invest and the different risk factors of your portfolio. If you're in your 30's to 50's you are in your financial growth period. Annuities are known for protection of your money and retirement.

An Annuity is a contract between you and an insurance company. Insurance companies do not have the same protection or requirements that a banks do. This means you want a financially strong insurance company with an A rating or better. You want to understand what the annuity is and how it is supposed to perform for you. There are five basic annuities. 1) Fixed annuities. 2) Variable annuities. 3) Fixed indexed annuities. 4) Immediate annuities. 5) Differed annuities. 

They may also have riders such as Long-Term-Care.
