Real Benefits of Indexed Annuities


Many people do not realize there is a Safer Place for their Money than in a Mutual Fund, Stock, Bond, EFT, Variable Annuity, 401(k), 403(b), 457 plan, these plans have fees, risk and uncertainty. Olshein Asset Advisors specializes in helping their clients avoid market risks, reduce fees and put some Guarantees in their Retirement Plans! A Great Majority of Americans are taking too much RISK with their money and not getting an appropriate return.


The goal of Wall Street and the Mutual Fund Companies is to have you take all the Investment Risk and Pay Them Fees to Manage your Investments. They spend Billions marketing this concept, hire spokes people to pitch this to everyone. Your 401(k) funds are invested in Mutual Fund subaccounts, 529 Plans, the same thing, Variable Annuities as well. With Trillions of dollars under management in Mutual Funds, Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) collect fees while you take on the Risk of the Stock Market. Many times the ordinary investor is paying fees to several different organizations along with operating costs, even marketing costs. These fees can add up a typical Mutual Fund could be 2-3%, same with your 401(k) sometimes your broker will add an additional 1-2% in fees to manage your money. The market since the beginning of 2000 has only returned 4 to 5% before fees so after fees there is not much left for you is there? You are conditioned to accept paying fees along with taking risk in the market, they tell you losing money is normal and that the market is the best place to be in the long run. First of all the market has had two major corrections of 50% since 2000 most investors were lucky to average 3% during that time so I don’t believe the Market is the Best Place to be. There are better places to put your Money where you get some Guarantees that you will not lose anything if the market goes down and you can still make a very good reasonable rate of return.


Now there is nothing wrong with paying fees if you get some value for doing so, however in most cases people have no idea what they are paying for in fees, who they are paying them to and what value they are getting for their money. Don’t forget there are no Guarantees provided with all the fees and the investor holds all the Risk of Investment Losses, Defaults, Under Performance and so on. All you are doing is paying people and firms to push around paper and being held hostage to the market whims, gains and losses.


There is a Better Way! The last 20 years there have been new financial instruments that move the risk away from you and offer different types of Guarantees and Tax Savings. In simple terms the investor or saver receives interest credited by how on the upside of an Index and none of the downside of the Index Losses. In many cases the Index Strategy out performs the Market, here is an example of just one index outperforming the Market of a new Index from J.P. Morgan0


Past Performance does not Guarantee future Results
