With so many types of annuity products in existence, it can be difficult to understand which product is best suited for our clients. Furthermore, many of us struggle to understand what differentiates one annuity from another. That’s where this guide steps in.

With this summary guide, you will be able to quickly navigate the annuity space and have more intelligent conversations with your clients about whether a particular annuity might fit (or currently fits) their financial situation and preferences. This summary guide covers some key components of annuity products, such as:

The types of annuities there are and what categories they fall under.
Explaining what specific annuities can do, and who they might be most suitable for.
The types of risks that come with each annuity, as well as what risks they help mitigate.
The different features of each type of annuity, as well as their potential fees.
How annuities might affect a client’s tax and estate planning situation.

“With working from home most of 2020, we wanted to still catch some face time with our clients. We used the checklists and flowcharts to conduct webinars covering various topics. In fact, having the charts readily available, we were able to do many of these on a weekly basis, knowing the material was pretty much already established. We had such great feedback that we are continuing the webinars into 2021. We have many that actually look forward to our meeting times, and found being able to have the flowchart or checklist available to work on their own later was an added bonus.”

“Having been trained in a CPA firm, checklists were how everything was done, I was amazed to learn how little checklists were utilized in FP [Financial Planning]. I had created my own but FP Pathfinder has outdone me in creating current issue lists and updates. This is a must for any advisor. ”
