Annuities Get No Respect
To celebrate over 40 years of thought leadership, Kehrer Group is revisiting some of its landmark studies and insights, and we’re asking some members of the financial advice community to provide their take on the impact of the work.
This from Tom Mitchell, SVP at OneAZ Wealth Management, whose Spectrum Financial Network firm was an early TPM, and who, working in banks and credit unions and for other broker dealers, fought the fight to overcome resistance in the banking community to having vulture advisors in the institution’s branch:
Nothing has changed from this study done in 2019. Great rates, guarantees, tax deferred, avoids probate and many more features and benefits. Steve Lescher and I always said, “never a down day ” with an annuity. Always worth more tomorrow than they are today! Makes so much sense for savers, risk adverse customers. In a Bank there has to be trust. Insured products do just that.
