Hi! Stan The Annuity Man, America's Annuity Agent, licensed in all 50 states.
[3]
so the question is what are the 4 best annuities for retirement. Part of my
[8]
retirement tips annuity series on the Stan The
[11]
Annuity Man YouTube channel, we're going to go over annuities
[14]
and which types I think are the best for retirement. That doesn't mean you need an
[17]
annuity. But these are the ones that I think are
[20]
pro customer if used correctly. So, before we do that, I would encourage you
[24]
to subscribe to this YouTube channel because
[26]
we're just getting started. I'm putting these out every single day, Monday
[29]
through Friday. And I would encourage you to go to my
[31]
site at the annuityman.com and get my books.
[35]
6 owners manuals. I'll send them to you for free and under no obligation. I
[38]
also encourage you to schedule a call with me if you're really considering
[42]
an annuity strategy or someone's pitched to an annuity
[45]
and you might want a little bit more clarification, I will give you the brutal
[48]
facts of how these things work. So, let's get
[51]
started after this music.
[62]
Okay. So, the first type of annuity I think that is really good for retirement
[66]
is called a multi-year guarantee annuity. This is for the person that says, "I don't
[70]
want any market volatility. I don't want to pay any fees. I want it
[75]
to be simple. I want to know what the interest rate's going to be and I want
[78]
to control the term in other words how long i lock it in."
[81]
That's a multi-year guarantee annuity. What is that? It's a fixed rate annuity.
[86]
It's the annuity industry version of a CD. A certificate of deposit.
[91]
Neither is better than the other. CDs are good and short term like from a year or
[94]
less up to about a 2-year time period. A MYGA, multi-year guarantee annuity, they
[99]
typically have a higher contractual guarantee 3 years in out.
[103]
So, they work well in conjunction with each other.
[105]
You can ladder CDs and MYGAs at the same time. But
[109]
for the retirement person, the retiree, pre-retiree or if you're already retired
[113]
and you don't want to lose a penny, you don't want to pay any fees, you
[116]
really don't want to keep up with it. Uou just want to know exactly what you're
[119]
going to get annual interest rate, multi-year guarantee annuity. Now,
[123]
theannuityman.com, I'd encourage you to go there. We have a
[126]
live feed, a proprietary live feed of the best fix rates
[130]
in the country. Now, MYGA --multi-year guarantee annuity is
[133]
a fixed rate annuity and and it's issued by life insurance company
[137]
and it's approved at the state level. Okay, so when you go to my site, you're
[141]
going to pull up the the MYGA feed and you're going to filter the state of
[145]
residence and the duration. So, let's just say you're from Oregon. You're going to
[149]
put Oregon. And i'm interested in 5 years. You'll hit 5 year,
[152]
hit go and it'll list the top carriers that have contractual guarantees for
[156]
five years for that multi-year guarantee
[159]
annuity. You can do 3 years, 4 year, 5 year, 2 years, 10 years, whatever.
[163]
The point is these are fixed rate annuities. They protect the principal,
[167]
there's no market attachment, there's no moving parts,
[170]
they're very simple and easy to understand and they are very good
[173]
for retirement. Oh, the other thing i forgot to tell you about multi-year
[176]
guarantee annuity. Some of the the carriers that offer them
[179]
allow you to peel off that interest, every month and it hits your bank
[183]
account. So, it also can kind of be an income stream as well.
[186]
Not all of them do that but that's the reason me and you need to talk so we can
[189]
filter down to exactly what you're trying to achieve and what you're
[192]
looking for. Okay. The other, the second type of
[195]
annuity I think is good for retirement is an indexed annuity
[198]
with an income rider. You're like, "Oh! Did you really say that, Stan?"
[201]
Yeah. But indexed annuities in my world, in my terms,
[205]
the way that I look at them, indexed annuities are CD products. They were
[208]
developed in 1995 to compete with CD returns. That's
[211]
exactly what they do. But I think for retirees, you might be
[216]
looking for income in the future. And the way that we
[219]
like to use indexed annuities a lot of the time is a
[222]
delivery system for that income rider guarantee. So, if you come to me and say,
[226]
"You know, I think I need income in 4 years or 3 years or 7 years or
[230]
10 years. But I want to control the money. I want...
[232]
I'm not sure i'm going to turn on the income stream.
[234]
I want to control the money and if I need to pivot." And say, "Stan, I don't want
[238]
to do that anymore. Just send me the money", indexed annuities with
[241]
the income riders are pro retirement. Pro retiree because you kind of have
[245]
your cake and eat it too a little bit. You're going to get CD returns on the
[248]
index side. Understand that. Not market returns. I
[251]
know, that's what people are telling you but listen to me. The top agent in the
[254]
country. I've written a book on it which I'm going to send you if you go to my
[257]
site at theannuityman.com and sign up for it. But when you attach
[261]
that income rider, now you have a pension guarantee that
[264]
you can turn on at your discretion for future lifetime income and you can
[268]
attach a spouse or partner. It's really a good strategy. What we
[272]
found though is the indexed annuity with the income rider
[274]
provides the highest contractual guarantee on the income rider side when
[278]
compared to other products that have income riders attached. So, the
[281]
second product I want you to think about and consider and talk to me
[285]
about is if you need future income but you want to control the asset,
[289]
fixed indexed annuities with an income rider might be a good fit.
[292]
Okay. The third type of annuity that i think is good for retirement
[296]
is the SPIA-DIA category which is single premium immediate annuity, deferred
[300]
income annuity. That's what that stands for.
[302]
The reason i combine those 2 products is they're pretty much the same product.
[306]
It just depends on when you want the income to start. Now, immediate annuities,
[310]
single premium immediate annuities were designed
[312]
and introduced in the roman times back in the day
[316]
as a pension guaranteed gift to the dutiful roman soldiers and their
[321]
families. Now, immediate annuities have been sold in
[323]
this country for a couple hundred years plus.
[326]
Now, deferred income annuities are immediate annuities that you defer. So,
[329]
let me give you the rules. But they are great for retirement because these are
[333]
pure pension products. There's no moving parts, there's no annual fees, there's
[336]
no market attachments. The income stream guarantee is primarily based on your
[342]
life expectancy (or life expectancies if joint) at the time you take the payment
[346]
with interest rates playing a secondary role. They're commodity products.
[350]
I mean they really, really are. You just need to quote all carriers for the
[353]
highest contractual guarantee. And oh, by the way, I bring this empty
[357]
gallon of milk is because SPIA and DIA quotes is pretty much all
[360]
annuity quotes but definitely immediate annuity and deferred income annuities
[364]
are like a gallon of milk. "What does that mean, Stan? Why do you have a gallon of
[367]
milk?" Is because the quotes expire every 7
[370]
to 10 days just like a gallon of milk. So, think about that. When we're quoting
[374]
SPIAs and DIAs think of gallon of milk. You don't have to make a decision every
[378]
7 to 10 days, but if we are in the process of talking
[381]
and 7 to 10 days go by, I'll have to re-quote those for you. And
[385]
oh, by the way, that gallon of milk analogy is a good one.
[388]
That doesn't mean that you have 7 to 10 days to decide.
[392]
You have seven ten days to get the paperwork into the carry if you want to
[396]
lock in that specific rate. Now, let's go over the rules
[399]
with immediate annuities. If you said, "Stan,
[402]
I want income to start between as soon as 30 days
[405]
up to a year. That's an immediate annuity. That's a single premium immediate
[409]
annuity. Once you go to that 13 month, I want the
[412]
income to start in 13 months or or beyond. And some deferred annuity
[416]
companies allow you to to defer up to 30 or 40 years. Yeah,
[420]
people do that because they want those contractual guarantees
[423]
for their kids or wondering and ambiguity kids or people they just love and
[427]
they know they're not going to have an income stream at the
[429]
in the future. They want that deferred income annuity. But in essence, that's how
[432]
it works. "Hey, Stan. I need income now." Between now
[436]
and a year, if that's an immediate annuity. "Hey, Stan. I need income in a year
[439]
or 5 years from now." That's a deferred income annuity.
[441]
Once again, no annual fees, no moving parts, no market attachments.
[445]
Very, very simple to understand. And remember this:
[449]
Immediate annuities are the best annuity type for retirement if you need income
[454]
right now. Deferred income annuities, when you need
[457]
income later, we're going to going to quote not only those but we're
[460]
also going to quote income riders as well because those are the 2
[463]
strategies that we quote for what we call income
[466]
later, income down the road. Okay, the fourth type and final type that
[471]
i think is really pro customer, good for retirees is what's called a QLAC,
[475]
qualified longevity annuity contract. It's a deferred income annuity.
[479]
So, an immediate annuity is a deferred income annuity and a QLAC is a
[482]
deferred income annuity. Are we confused now?
[484]
The bottom line is it's a transfer of risk,
[488]
pension product that you can use in your traditional IRA. And some,
[492]
not all, some employ your sponsored plans. Most people are using QLACs in their
[497]
traditional IRAs. The good news about a QLAC
[500]
is you can defer as far out as age 85. Doesn't have to be that far.
[504]
You can start it sooner. Let's say, age 70- 72. Whatever.
[507]
The other good thing about a QLAC is you can attach a spouse or a partner for
[511]
joint lifetime income even though it's your traditional IRA.
[514]
The other good thing about a QLAC is it has the potential to lower your taxes
[518]
because any amount of money that you use in a
[520]
QLAC is not subject to rmd calculations.
[525]
Which is a good thing. Now, the kind of the downside of the QLAC is you
[528]
can't put a ton of money in it at the time of this taping which is 2020.
[531]
And this will change. So, you need to connect with us. And I've
[534]
written a book on it. I'll send you as well.
[536]
It's $135,000 is the max you can put into QLAC. Nut if you and your
[540]
spouse have QLACs, you both can do that amount. But the good news is you can
[545]
use your retirement account to plan for future income. Now, QLACs were
[549]
actually designed and put on the planet by the
[551]
department of the treasury and our friends at the IRS,
[554]
they wanted us as a as a country to start utilizing those IRA assets for
[560]
future income needs. Now, you already own the best inflation
[564]
annuity on the planet. That's called social security.
[566]
QLACs and DIAs, deferred income annuities work just like that.
[569]
The older you are, the higher the payment. So, you need to connect with me if you
[573]
want a QLAC so I can get a little bit better picture what
[576]
you're trying to do. We can structure a myriad of ways we can ladder the income.
[580]
We can buy 2 or 3 different policies under that premium
[583]
limitation to have income starting in future years to
[586]
address inflation. The bottom line is they're
[588]
great, great products. I hear sometimes pundits say, "You should never buy an
[592]
annuity inside of an IRA." They obviously have not heard of a
[596]
QLAC. Hey, I encourage you to look at all my retirement tips and videos i'm just
[600]
pointing to one. But you can go to the playlist
[602]
and see the series. Also, hit the subscribe button
[605]
or go to theannuityman as well and set a time to talk with me. Remember,
[609]
contractual guarantees only. You buy an annuity for what it will do, not what it
[613]
might do. Not the hypothetical, theoretical,
[616]
back-tested, projected, hopeful stuff. The 4 annuity types that i talked to
[620]
about today. We're looking at contractual guarantees
[622]
only. Maybe that's for you. If it is, contact me. I'm Stan The Annuity Man,
