“Fun With Annuities” The Annuity Man Podcast

In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:

• Annuity companies are more regulated than banks

• Features that protect the annuity industry

• There is no run on annuities

• How the banking crisis will affect the annuity industry

Key Takeaways:

• Annuity companies are more regulated than banks, with features like surrender charges and market value adjustments that prevent runs on the company.

• Annuity companies are required to invest in investment-grade bonds, providing stability, unlike banks that had to sell bonds during the recent crisis.

• Lifetime income products offered by annuity companies, such as SPIAs and DIAs, are irrevocable and provide a guaranteed income stream for life, preventing panicked withdrawals.

• The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) plays a crucial role in overseeing annuity companies and protecting consumers, and the recent banking crisis will likely lead to increased oversight of the annuity industry.

"The bottom line: the annuity industry has put in place features to not only protect you, the consumer, which is their ultimate goal, period, but to protect the industry as well." — Stan The Annuity Man.
