Index Annuities Unmasked - Good Deal or Bad Advice?
Manage episode 480104750 series 3594497
Indexed annuities are often sold as a win-win: stock market gains without the downside. But is that really true? In this episode, Ryan, Ron, and Nick will dig into this retirement income tool to explain how indexed annuities actually work, how they’re marketed, and why the numbers tell a very different story.
You’ll learn about caps, buffers, fees, and the hidden costs that limit growth -- and why many indexed annuities end up performing more like bonds, without the same liquidity.
