Should You Buy an Annuity If You Don't Trust Financial Advisors?

Do you want to secure your retirement, but you simply don't trust traditional financial advisors? Are you tired of the idea of paying massive annual management fees just to have someone watch over your safe money? You are not alone!

In this video, Shawn Plummer from The Annuity Expert tackles a highly controversial question: Should you buy an annuity if you don't trust financial advisors? The straightforward answer is yes! Shawn explains how modern annuities are designed to automatically do the exact jobs that advisors typically charge fees to manage. Whether you are using a MYGA to beat bank CD rates, a Fixed Index Annuity as a protected bond alternative, or an Income Rider to guarantee your lifetime paycheck, annuities allow you to "set it and forget it" without paying an AUM (Assets Under Management) fee.

Shawn also candidly breaks down the one thing an annuity cannot do (manage aggressive stock market funds) and why you should completely avoid Variable Annuities if you want safety. Finally, he issues a massive warning: if you are going to bypass an advisor, you must use an independent broker to ensure you have access to the entire market, rather than being limited to just 10 or 15 captive products!
