PFP2326. Too Few Dollars, Too Much Life

Longer life spans mean longer retirements for many individuals--yet how prepared are they to manage the risks that come along with that? Whether you need to evaluate a client's existing annuity or are considering how to improve the outcome of their financial plan, annuities are increasingly important. With less access to pensions and Social Security payments insufficient to provide for basic income needs for most retirees, many clients seek out certainty and a reliable paycheck in retirement. An annuity is an obvious solution but where do they fit in best? And what is the implication of newer in-plan lifetime income solutions that are in the news lately? Get the latest on how to make sense of annuities in today's environment and have the opportunity to ask your own questions.
