Bill Andrews, Financial Professional, Interviewed on the Influential Entrepreneurs Podcast Discussing Annuities

Bill Andrews discusses his insights on Annuities.

Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/interview-with-financial-professional-bill-andrews-discussing-annuities/

An annuity is a financial product that guarantees a series of payments for a specific period of time. There are two primary types of annuities: immediate annuities and deferred annuities. Immediate annuities provide regular payments immediately after purchase, while deferred annuities involve making lump sum payments or a series of payments into an account that grows over time to generate income later in life.

Annuities are popular because they offer security and stability, unlike the volatile stock market. They provide guaranteed returns and protect against market fluctuations, which is especially appealing to individuals nearing retirement who may not have enough time to recover from potential losses.

In addition to the guarantee and contract aspect, annuities offer several other benefits. They are a versatile retirement funding vehicle that provides safety, liquidity, tax benefits, and competitive rates of return. The growth within an annuity is tax-deferred, meaning individuals do not have to pay taxes on the growth until they start withdrawing the funds. Furthermore, if qualified money such as IRAs is used to fund an annuity, the tax-deferred status is maintained.

It is important to note that annuities themselves are not taxable products, but they offer tax advantages. The tax deformability of annuities allows individuals to accumulate wealth without the burden of immediate taxes. When the time comes to start taking an income from the annuity, the withdrawals may be partially or fully taxed depending on factors such as whether it is a Roth annuity or not.

Overall, annuities provide individuals with a reliable and secure way to generate income during retirement. They offer guaranteed payments for a specific period of time and provide tax benefits, making them an attractive option for those seeking stability and longevity in their financial planning.

Bill said: “What most people are using annuities for today are deferred annuities where they’re placing a lump sum or a series of payments into an account and growing it in order to generate an income at a later period in their life. When I hear words like guarantee and contract, that’s really comforting to someone who is looking for very little volatility, right? Absolutely, especially with all the uncertainty and volatility out there now. I think that’s a big piece that people just don’t pick up on, which is you can put your money in the market, per se. But at a certain age, you need to start shifting gears and thinking, I don’t have enough runway before retirement for the volatility to kind of weather and recoup.
