    Material Fact 1:
      About 90% of advisors ARE NOT REQUIRED by law to do what is best for their clients!
     
    Material Fact 2:
     Fiduciary Advisors ARE REQUIRED by law to do what's best for their clients! 
     
      Hence, clients of a fiduciary can know that their advisor chose the highest legal standard required by law to work strictly for their highest good.
     
     We estimate Fiduciaries are less than 10% of total U.S. financial service providers. Fiduciaries are held to the highest client legal standard of financial planning and investment advice.
     
     The other 90% are sales oriented advisors, brokers, bank reps, registered reps. & insurance agents, selling products on a much lower suitability legal standard, not necessarily what's best for their client!
     
       Fiduciaries also must disclose conflicts of interest that could potentially bias their advice, such as; selling products that pay them higher commissions having higher fees or costs, and their lack of investment product access limiting their client's opportunities, to name a few.

Using OutCome Based Planning™ for Your Retirement

“The Annuity Guys will never call you unless you request our assistance”. When you are ready for specialized help we will be available to assist you..
We practice and recommend a “Holistic – OutCome Based Planning™ process when considering annuities.” This approach has the effect of balancing your overall portfolio with annuities so you can meet your retirement objectives by “first identifying the least amount of your investments or savings that should be considered for annuities.” OutCome Based Planning™ analyzes and models multiple outcomes so you can clearly identify your best income and growth opportunities.

“Working with an Experienced Fiduciary Financial Planner can help you Avoid a Trial & Error or Risk Based Retirement”


This type of approach does take considerably more time, effort and analysis which will show you mathematically the successful possibilities by comparing various outcomes rather than trying to sell or convince you of that “so-called one best solution.” Clients frequently tell us that this process removes some of the confusion and emotion to help them objectively identify a better retirement plan; rather than just ending up with the most convincing salesperson or advisor.

When requesting help you can be assured of working with an experienced Annuity Guys’ Retirement Planner who is independently insurance licensed and securities licensed as a fiduciary financial planner having access to the vast majority of annuity companies in helping you choose the best annuities using a holistic-outcome based planning approach. We consider the high quality advisor recommendations we make to our website visitors as a direct reflection back on our Annuity Guys’ commitment to serve all client’s with a high standard of excellence in financial planning for retirement.

Based on survey feedback on advisors from our website visitors, we eliminated about two-hundred local advisors and now only recommend a few that we consider experienced vetted Annuity Guys’ Fiduciary Advisors. Many local advisors continue requesting us to recommend them as an Annuity Guy’s vetted advisor. However, our reputation and future business is driven only by satisfied website visitors. So, unfortunately we’ve had to tell the vast majority of local advisors no, since we changed our business model four years ago. At that time we stopped trying to satisfy everyone with local advisors, we now primarily work with individuals who are comfortable using today’s internet technology to their fullest advantage by working with a select group of vetted, experienced and knowledgeable Annuity Guys’ Fiduciary Planners.

    2023 Financial Advisor Summary Report
     *Fiduciary Financial Planners we estimate at less than 10% of total US financial advisors.
    The other 90% of advisors are salespeople such as brokers, bank reps, registered reps. & insurance agents.

     Advisors licensed only as a sales oriented securities broker, registered rep, or insurance agent, ARE NOT Fiduciaries! They work on a much lower legal standard of Suitability which does not require full disclosure and only requires a suitable product sale, NOT what's actually best for their client!

      Fiduciary Financial Planners by law are subject to the highest standard of financial planning and investment advice accountability.
      Hence, clients of a fiduciary can know that their advisor is required legally to work strictly for their highest benefit.

      This is also referred to as the prudent man rule, which in simple terms means that by licensing as a Series 65 Investment Advisor / Financial Planner they must give clients the best advice they are capable of based on all the knowledge they possess and information they have access to, in the same way they would advise and help close friends or family members.

      Fiduciaries also must disclose all known conflicts of interest that could potentially bias their advice, such as - selling financial products that pay them higher  commissions with higher fees or costs, and their lack of investment product availability for their clients' needs, just to name a few.
