The retirement landscape in the United States is ever-changing. Individuals are living longer, working longer and needing income longer. Currently, more than 10,000 baby boomers on average are turning 65 each day and tasked with identifying how to plan financially for their golden years. Beyond this generation, younger adults are looking for ways to protect their assets while enjoying some of the market’s upside potential.
All of these reasons and more signify the prominent need for increased awareness and understanding of annuities. That’s why the Coalition for Annuity Awareness has declared June as National Annuity Awareness Month.
As an industry professional, you understand the features and benefits of annuities, and are working to ensure these powerful products remain easily accessible to consumers regardless of their net worth. With so many regulatory and legislative issues on the table pertaining to annuities, it’s never been more crucial that you become active in the annuity education process.
Throughout the month of June we will be providing you with resources to demystify and promote awareness of annuities. If you have any specific questions, please
