Ep. 54: Behavioral Biases Against Annuities and How They Harm Everyday Retirees (w/ Sheryl Moore and Tracy Lownsberry)

Annuities have become the four-letter word of retirement planning products.  However, is this warranted?  When should annuities be positioned in a well-diversified retirement income plan?   How do you ensure you aren’t being taken advantage of by an agent who doesn’t have your best interests?  

In this next edition of The PFR Podcast, I host annuity experts Sheryl Moore and Tacy Lownesberry to discuss this notorious retirement product and attempt to reduce the stigma associated with annuities.  

Why do this? 

Well, I personally do not sell annuities…nor do I receive any compensation from annuity agents or their providers.  However, I see the value when they are in fact a good fit, but oftentimes preconceived biases against the product prevent right-fit clients from purchasing them.  

I hope you all enjoy this episode.  And thank you Sheryl and Tracy for joining to share your insights.
