Show Notes

Are all types of annuities deserving of hate? The answer is not black and white. While certain types may have drawbacks, others can offer advantages and fit well with your financial objectives and situation. It's important to weigh various viewpoints, including those from reliable sources such as the federal government, respected academics, and investment guru Ken Fisher.

However, when it comes to financial products, you shouldn't solely rely on marketing tactics and catchy slogans. Fisher Investments' "Why I Hate Annuities and You Should Too" campaign may have an agenda or bias that could influence the message. In this episode, Bryan will provide an objective evaluation of the pros and cons of annuities, along with insights into the potential motives behind Fisher's marketing campaign. This will help you make an informed decision that aligns with your financial goals and values.
