You may have heard about annuities elsewhere, but we thought it useful to send you a link to a Yahoo Finance article that does what we think is a good job of explaining that “Fixed indexed annuities might be suitable for an investor who still wants to minimize risk but wants the potential to earn a higher rate of return.” Annuities are contracts you sign with an insurance company to pay a premium for guaranteed income later. If you are trying to determine which kind of annuity is best for you, give us a call and we can help explain some of the difference between the various kinds. We’re always here to help.
