Fixed Index Annuities: What Financial Salespeople Won't Tell You Before You Buy

Thinking about buying a fixed index annuity? Here's what most financial salespeople won't tell you #fixedindexannuity #fiduciaryadvisor #investmentmistakes

Have you ever been told by an advisor that FIAs are risk-free or offer guaranteed income for life? Well, let's take a closer look at the hidden fees, complex terms, and surrender charges that could trap your money for years. I’ll explain how some advisors use loopholes to sell these products for high commissions while you face reduced flexibility and long-term risks.

FIAs can work for some people, but they should never be bought based on a slick sales pitch. I'll show you how to spot red flags, understand the true costs, and protect your retirement money from becoming stuck in financial quicksand. Let’s explore smart alternatives and make decisions that keep you in control of your investments.

Mike covers the following:

👀 Is your advisor a fiduciary if he/she is selling a fixed index annuity?

🤢 Learn how fixed index annuities are excluded from Regulation Best Interest. This loophole allows advisors selling fixed index annuities to recommend products that pay them higher commissions with no requirement that it be the best solution for you.

👎 Fixed index annuities are a maze of complexity and lack fee transparency.

🔒 Fixed index annuities are easy to get into, but hard and expensive to get out of. Don't get locked into an expensive investment that lacks flexibility. The advisor selling an FIA generally makes 7-8% commission UPFRONT on the sale, with no financial incentive to review your financial plan - OTHER THAN TO SELL YOU A NEW ANNUITY!

❌ Guaranteed income sounds appealing, but understand that it comes with an important and little-understood catch.

🛑 Don't fall victim to a slick sales pitch and make a decision you'll later regret. We offer a free second opinion, we'll explain the pitfalls and quicksand lurking beneath fixed index annuities.

Loved the straightforward advice on fixed index annuities!

I agree with many things that you said, as I have two separate fixed index annuities, and I am in the last year of the surrender value penalty phase
Next year about this time, I will roll those over to my IRA
