Best Variable Annuities
Our Recommendation
Variable annuities are best suited for younger investors that have maximized IRAs and company retirement plans. The great advantage to variable annuities# is their ability to defer tax on investments similar to other qualified retirement plans. Variable annuities transfer all investment risk on principal and earnings to the owner where as with fixed annuities all investment risk is assumed by the insurer thereby **guaranteeing earnings and principal to the owner. Younger investors should consider no load, no surrender, low fee variable annuities# to grow money for later in retirement.
Retirees and pre-retirees are frequently the marketing target of high fee variable annuities# promoting income **guarantees which make the investment risk to principal and earnings more attractive and the high fees of 3% to 5% seem more justifiable. Most prospective buyers are not aware that fixed annuities now have equal or better income **guarantees with to principal or earnings and typically no fees or minimal fees of less than 1%. Newer hybrid fixed annuity versions also allow for some index gains based on stock market upside with no downside stock market risk.
