Annuities are a big business, both for advisors and the insurance companies and other channels who sell them. But just because there is money to be made selling annuity products, it doesn’t negate the benefits that consumers receive from these products as well. In an article for Main Street, Mark Henricks says that “
Buying an Annuity Should be Part of Your Retirement Strategy.” From 2010 to 2015, individuals bought more than $1 trillion worth of annuities. 2015 was an especially good year for fixed indexed annuity products, one branch of the fixed annuity market. In addition to all of the individuals planning for retirement with annuity products, corporations are also buying annuities at record levels to lower the risks and costs associated with offering pension benefits.
