Add Retirement Alpha

Systematic withdrawal plans do not obviously outperform annuities as a way to meet retirement spending goals as well as providing support for contingencies and legacy.

“Longevity risk is one of the key risks that can be managed effectively by an annuity. Investment and sequence risks are also alleviated through the more conservative investing approach for the underlying annuitized assets.”

Dr. Wade D. Pfau, Why Bond Funds Don’t Belong in Retirement Portfolios, 2015Professor of Retirement Income at The American College

The latest generation of fixed indexed annuities does this and more by providing access to savings and death benefits not found in traditional longevity annuities.
