042 MYGA Secrets You Need To Know

IN THIS EPISODE, THE ANNUITY MAN DISCUSS:
- What a MYGA (Multi-year Guaranteed Annuity) is.
- The negatives to a MYGA.
- The length of time on a MYGA term.
- The hidden secrets of a MYGA.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Multi-year guarantee annuities and fixed indexed annuities are both CD products.
- Interest rates do not have to go up, there is a good argument for them to go to zero (even if we hope it doesn’t).
- If you get to the end of your surrender term, you can then transfer it to another MYGA and keep pushing the tax puck down the ice.
- There is no urgency to own an annuity, the only urgency is to understand it.
"If you like simplicity, if you like short term, if you like understanding what you own, a MYGA is your product." — Stan The Annuity Man

into the topic which is a big one today
1:25
and it falls under the annuity for what
1:27
it will do not what it might do the
1:28
contractual guarantees
1:30
so today's topic is the myga secrets
1:32
that you need to know so let's start off
1:35
by
1:35
explaining what a myga is multi-year
1:39
guarantee annuity
1:40
is what myga stands for migas are
1:44
the annuity industries version of a cd
1:47
it's not any more complicated than that
1:50
you know i get a call from chester today
1:52
chester is the mythical prospect with
1:54
his wife martha that calls me every
1:56
every day and asks the questions
1:58
but i get these questions all the time
1:59
it's like uh hey stan is my guy i want
2:02
to buy one of them migas
2:03
but i'm a cd buyer well what's the catch
2:06
it can't be that
2:06
simple uh yes it can chester
2:10
it can be that simple multi-year
2:13
guarantee annuities are simple for all
2:15
of the people out there go
2:16
i hate all annuities stand the annuity
2:19
man i hate them all
2:21
really do you hate cds do you hate
2:24
principal protection do you hate
2:26
guaranteed interest rates do you hate
2:28
products with no fees
2:29
do you hate simplicity of course you do
2:31
not
2:32
multi-year guarantee annuities are kind
2:35
of the unknown
2:36
gem of the annuity industry why is it
2:39
unknown is because
2:41
agents don't get paid a lot remember
2:42
commissions with annuities are built in
2:44
and hidden from the client
2:46
and the more complex and longer term the
2:48
product the higher the commission
2:50
the more simple the product and the
2:52
shorter term the product
2:54
the lower the commission even though
2:55
it's built in that's the reason that in
2:58
the
2:58
in the annuity world if you have a
3:01
sprained ankle a sore throat or you have
3:02
covid someone's going to try to sell you
3:04
an indexed annuity
3:05
because they think that's the solution
3:07
it's not a one-size-fits-all solution
3:09
multi-year guarantee annuities have been
3:11
around for long hundreds of years
3:13
i mean just like a cd you get a
3:16
guaranteed interest rate
3:18
for a specific period of time that you
3:20
choose
3:22
and the durations can be assured at the
3:24
time of this taping
3:25
two years in length you can buy a
3:27
two-year multi-year guarantee annuity
3:29
and you can buy a three-year four-year
3:30
five year six years seven year eight
3:31
year whatever ten year
3:33
but right now the sweet spots around
3:35
five years in in
3:36
and you i will allow my clients to look
3:39
at the seven year
3:41
um rate if it's a part of an overall
3:44
like my ga ladder multi-year guarantee
3:46
annuity ladder
3:48
um so that's a multi-year guarantee
3:49
annuity the biggest difference between a
3:51
myga and a cd
3:53
is in a non-ira non-qualified account so
3:56
like you're checking the type account
3:58
um a cd gets that annual interest and
4:01
you have to pay taxes on an annual in a
4:03
non-ira non-qualified account
4:05
in a with omega in the same type of
4:07
account
4:08
the interest grows tax deferred
4:11
so you don't pay taxes until you pull
4:13
the money out if you do that
4:15
that doesn't make it better than cds it
4:18
but it does
4:19
it is different than a cd from that
4:21
standpoint now
4:22
uh if you're using ira money cds and
4:25
multi-year guarantee annuities excited
4:27
about ira so you're already getting
4:29
tax deferral there's no double tax
4:30
deferral so you're already getting one
4:32
tax deferral so
4:34
you know if you're a cd buyer um then
4:37
you're a my good buyer you just don't
4:38
even know it
4:39
okay and you should be looking at
4:41
because my
4:42
i mean cd rates right now at the time of
4:44
this taping stink the holy heck
4:46
and you know that nod your head might
4:49
rates are pretty competitive because
4:52
annuity companies are annuities are
4:54
issued by life insurance companies and
4:55
life insurance companies have multiple
4:56
products they
4:57
sell life insurance they sell lifetime
4:59
income products and then they sell these
5:01
you know multi-year guarantee fixed-rate
5:03
type products so they have a lot going
5:05
on
5:05
and they know when we're going to die
5:06
which is the reason they have the big
5:07
buildings the reason they have the logos
5:09
on the planes
5:10
it's the reason that they're now
5:11
sponsoring sports stadiums right
5:14
so um so the positive of a my
5:17
or what i just told you tax deferred
5:18
growth you can use it in any type of
5:20
account ira
5:22
non-ira roth ira it doesn't matter um
5:26
you know those are the positives the
5:27
positive also um
5:29
there's no annual fees there's no hidden
5:30
costs there's no gotcha calls there's no
5:33
you know people always ask all the time
5:34
so what you know what are the fees
5:36
there are no annual fees um you know
5:39
don't feel sorry for the annuity company
5:40
they're making money
5:41
and yes the the agent that sells you
5:43
gets a paltry low commission but that's
5:45
okay
5:46
because it's not about us it's about you
5:48
um
5:50
and that's hidden from you so if you put
5:51
a hundred thousand dollars into my ga
5:52
you're gonna see a hundred thousand
5:53
dollars
5:54
on your statement and going to work for
5:55
you now the the negative
5:57
i guess to my and every product has
5:58
negatives right not your head
6:00
um and the negative is that
6:03
omega is not as safe as as a cd in my
6:07
opinion that's my opinion cds have fdic
6:10
insurance
6:10
f stands for federal f stands for we're
6:12
going to get the freaking money somehow
6:14
right um that's the best coverage on the
6:16
planet whereas multi-year guarantee
6:18
annuities
6:19
you should um you should always buy
6:22
the multi-year guarantee annuity rate
6:25
based on the claims paying ability of
6:26
the carrier
6:27
yes there's a state guarantee fund that
6:30
each state has that backs policies up to
6:32
a certain amount but it's illegal to use
6:34
that in the sales process
6:36
and we're not doing that because if
6:38
you're working with me which you should
6:40
and i hope you do because i'm licensing
6:41
all 50 sales i'm standing new to man
6:43
i said that quick stand the annuity man
6:45
america's annuity agent i mean i hope
6:47
you do i mean we sell more magazines
6:49
on the planet um but if you're working
6:51
with us we're going to look at the same
6:53
the claims paying ability of that
6:55
carrier now if you want to go to the
6:57
site
6:57
and look at what your state guarantee
7:00
fund is
7:01
go to n o l h g a and as the nancy o
7:05
ellis and larry h's and harry g s and
7:08
gary as an apple n-o-l-h-g-a
7:11
dot com and you can find out what your
7:13
state guarantee fund is
7:15
with that being said by the claims
7:16
paying ability now now my background
7:18
with more
7:19
morgan stanley and ubs and all those
7:22
those little high falutin firms dean
7:23
wood or payne weber
7:24
um you know i can look at a bond
7:26
portfolio and a solvency ratio i can
7:28
look at all that i can look at i always
7:29
tell people i can look at the bond
7:30
portfolio and tell when the son-in-law
7:32
is buying the bonds okay
7:33
we don't know that so you know the the
7:35
daughter the daughter of the ceo
7:37
you know marries a mary skipper
7:40
skipper the the frat boy and skipper the
7:42
frat boy don't know bond from schmond
7:44
and all of a sudden he's buying bonds
7:46
for the annuity no i can spot that so
7:48
you know if if i'm going to recommend
7:50
the carrier to you then i've looked at
7:52
them
7:52
and i've got my rear end on the line
7:54
because i'm going to say hey i think
7:56
that
7:57
this company can back up the claims so
7:59
let's get to the secrets and a lot of
8:01
the typical questions that are asked
8:04
to me um just pretty much every day so
8:08
one of them is how far out should you
8:09
lock into
8:11
that really comes down to what your
8:13
goals are for the asset
8:14
but currently at the time of this taping
8:17
i'm telling my clients really
8:19
really look at five years and then if
8:20
you look at just basic yield curve
8:22
analysis and
8:23
and really what that means in english
8:25
and just hanging out on the corner
8:26
explaining it is where is the sweet spot
8:30
for the yield where they offer me the
8:31
most
8:32
yield me is the consumer for the the
8:35
shortest duration and that's five years
8:37
because if you look at
8:38
if you go to the annuityman.com and we
8:40
have a live feed of the best migrates on
8:42
the planet we have more carriers than
8:44
anyone
8:44
period and it's updated live if you go
8:48
there and you know and you look at it
8:51
you're going to see that the the
8:52
carriers really don't reward
8:54
you for going farther out than say five
8:56
seven gets you
8:57
maybe you know a couple more not not
9:00
not 100 but like 20 basis points more so
9:05
you know i tell people five years and
9:06
then at the time of this taping the
9:07
shortest duration is two years
9:09
um back in the day when interest rates
9:11
were a little bit higher
9:13
um there were one year uh my guess and i
9:16
guess we'll go back there if interest
9:17
rates ever go up if jimmy carter will
9:19
stop building houses
9:21
and start you know pushing interest
9:22
rates again right people say
9:24
well i'm waiting for you know rates to
9:26
move up and i'm like
9:27
jimmy carter is building houses in
9:29
georgia i hope
9:30
i hope he's still alive he's like 92
9:32
swinging the hammer right
9:33
um but we're not we're probably we i'm
9:36
looking at you and you're listening to
9:37
me as you're driving down the road in
9:39
the podcast
9:40
or on the treadmill hopefully um
9:43
we're probably not gonna see those rates
9:44
again and people say well you know you
9:47
know rates have got to go up i mean for
9:48
the last five years
9:50
people have said to the following to me
9:52
well stanley nudie man america's annuity
9:54
agent licensed all 50 states
9:56
not many people say all of that but some
9:58
do well rates have to go up right
10:01
uh no they don't japan anyone
10:05
you know people are spoiled here you
10:07
know
10:09
they don't have to go up they can go
10:11
down in fact there's a
10:12
there's a good argument for them to go
10:14
to zero i hope i'm wrong
10:16
about that but there's a good argument
10:17
why is there a good argument stand the
10:19
annuity man
10:19
very good question podcast listener and
10:21
viewer the reason
10:23
is when you're printing all this money
10:26
as a country and giving it all away just
10:27
to make everybody feel better and get
10:29
through it right
10:30
um and i know people are having hard
10:32
times but man we're printing money
10:34
ridiculously when you do that you're
10:37
gonna have to pay interest on the money
10:38
that you're printing
10:40
so in my opinion there's no incentive to
10:43
raise
10:44
interest rates if you're the government
10:45
that's printing money give you an
10:46
analogy
10:48
would you this is a question to you
10:50
podcast listener and viewer
10:52
would you raise your mortgage payments
10:55
just for the heck of it would you do
10:57
that i mean would you raise the interest
10:58
rate on the mortgage
10:59
no you would not it's the same thing
11:03
that's looking the government in the
11:04
face as they print print print send send
11:06
send
11:07
pr pr pr
11:11
so we could could could rates go to zero
11:14
absolutely
11:15
i hope they don't but could they yes
11:18
japan went negative
11:19
for goodness sake some of the european
11:21
countries went negative
11:23
on interest rates so don't be cavalier
11:26
and uninformed and uneducated and just
11:28
randomly say wow right so i have to go
11:30
up
11:31
that's falls under the category of i
11:33
hate all annuities
11:34
really i mean it's not informed it's
11:37
like saying i hate our restaurants rates
11:38
have to go up they don't have to go up
11:40
do we want them to go up yes for the
11:42
podcast listeners i've got my hands
11:43
together i'm praying yes wait want that
11:45
to go up please
11:46
please go up we want them to go up but
11:49
they might not
11:51
so um how far out five years that's the
11:53
answer to that
11:54
and and really one of the positives
11:57
about
11:57
mike is kind of going back to the
11:58
original this first segment of the
12:01
podcast
12:02
the positives of the mic you can ladder
12:04
maturities meaning that let's just say
12:05
for instance you say
12:07
chester calls out well i got 300 dollars
12:10
putting my cause what would you do
12:11
standing nudey man
12:13
what i would do is i say okay let's buy
12:15
a two year a three year and a five year
12:17
i'm just an example of a ladder of a
12:19
ladder and you put a hundred thousand
12:21
in each maturity and as they um mature
12:24
then you can just roll it into another
12:26
multi-year guarantee annuity by the way
12:29
you know you can keep pushing that tax
12:31
puck down the ice hockey analogy for all
12:32
my hockey people out there
12:35
um you can just keep rolling
12:38
the myga in a non ira non-qualified
12:40
account it's called a 1035 exchange
12:42
1035 refers to the irs code that
12:44
addresses annuity to annuity
12:46
transfer which is a non-taxable event if
12:49
you're really bored go read it
12:50
but the point is if you get to the end
12:52
of your surrender term enter the time
12:54
frame
12:54
uh of the uh of the mighty the the the
12:57
anniversary date let's just say about a
12:59
five year my gun at the end of those
13:00
five years
13:02
you can then transfer it to another maga
13:04
and keep
13:05
pushing the tax puck down the ice now
13:07
eventually when you pull the taxes out
13:09
it's lasting first out
13:10
gains first uh tax or
13:14
ordinary income levels but a lot of
13:15
people just want principal protection
13:18
and they want a guaranteed interest rate
13:20
and they just want to
13:21
you know not take the interest even
13:23
though you can with with my guess
13:24
you know a lot of them allow you to take
13:26
interest out but they just want to keep
13:27
rolling it and rolling it and rolling it
13:29
side note another positive just just hit
13:32
me being
13:33
like lightning bolt light annuity
13:35
lightning bolt ping
13:36
um in some states like florida texas i
13:40
believe neva
13:40
nevada sorry um annuities are pr
13:44
are are creditor and lawsuit protected
13:47
in the law
13:48
in the law i mean if someone if you have
13:51
an annuity you've owned it for a couple
13:52
years and someone randomly runs into
13:54
your car
13:55
and they try to see you for it you know
13:57
you literally
13:58
can flip them the bird when it comes to
14:00
the annuity they cannot get to it
14:02
by law which is a good thing um so
14:05
that's just an added benefit
14:07
um
14:10
another question that comes in one of
14:12
the secrets to this is
14:13
how short term and i think i just
14:14
covered that two years is the shortest
14:17
duration at this point and there's
14:18
really only one
14:19
carrier that's offering it this the
14:21
three-year piece of paper the three-year
14:23
guarantee has a lot of carriers that are
14:26
offering
14:26
um you know good rates and obviously
14:29
killing cd rates right now again
14:31
not better than cds but if you're
14:33
looking for yield if you're looking to
14:35
squeeze oil out of the brick as they say
14:37
in the south
14:38
then you know the three year is pretty
14:41
good you know it's not a long duration
14:43
and you know at the end of the term you
14:44
can get your money back
14:46
if you want it or you can roll it
14:47
whatever you want to do surrender
14:48
charges on into on on
14:50
these type of migas are high and they're
14:52
predatory let's not
14:54
let's not men's words let's get down to
14:55
business here okay
14:57
let's take a five-year myga for example
15:00
typically the surrender charges are
15:01
going to be like
15:02
nine percent the first year eight
15:04
percent the second year
15:05
seven percent the third year uh six
15:08
percent the fourth year at five
15:09
you know it just goes down and as the
15:11
duration uh
15:12
lessens that's pretty high that doesn't
15:15
mean
15:16
that it's bad i mean they're locking in
15:18
the rates they don't want you to pivot
15:20
and go buy a boat obviously they got to
15:21
lock in the rate
15:22
somehow and that's kind of keeps you
15:24
from doing that but a lot of these and
15:26
these micas allow you to peel off the
15:27
interest pin
15:28
penalty free or take out say five or ten
15:31
percent annually
15:32
penalty free if you need liquidity so if
15:35
you're working with me stand the annuity
15:36
man america's annuity agent licensed all
15:37
50 states
15:39
and you say hey i kind of need some
15:41
liquidity
15:43
there's a possibility we need to get to
15:44
a little bit of money
15:46
then we will find a multi-year guarantee
15:49
annuity
15:50
that has that provision to either take
15:51
out interest or take out a percentage
15:53
annually
15:54
and if you go to my site at the
15:55
annuityman.com
15:57
um there's a lot on the front page that
15:59
says see live rates click the button
16:00
it'll pop it up and then you just put in
16:02
your state and the duration
16:04
in that grid on the grid we make it very
16:07
easy to see
16:08
you know which which products allow you
16:10
to take interest out
16:11
which products allow you to take um you
16:13
know money out on an annual basis
16:15
and not all the time but a lot of the
16:18
time the companies that
16:19
don't allow that type of liquidity have
16:21
the highest guarantee
16:23
duh makes sense but if you need that
16:26
type of liquidity or the possibility of
16:28
liquidity
16:29
then we have to build that in we have to
16:30
choose a carrier that provides that
16:33
now um you know the best site obviously
16:36
my site
16:37
the annuityman.com and there's no
16:39
pop-ups and flashes and wanting you to
16:41
sign up and all this
16:42
junk you know obviously we want you as a
16:44
client but the way that i
16:46
had my staff team consultants and
16:49
everybody build the site
16:51
was kind of like a kind of like a media
16:54
site a little bit
16:55
um you know there's videos and there's
16:56
podcasts and their replays and there's
16:59
articles i'm a serial writer not
17:02
that i mean i'm writing about cereal
17:04
okay this is about cornflakes
17:06
no it's not that i'm writing i've
17:08
written over 400 articles i've written
17:10
seven books etc
17:11
but you get a lot of information but
17:13
also with the myga
17:15
feed you don't have to sign up to get it
17:17
you can just go in there and look
17:19
at your own leisure 24 7 365. that's the
17:22
way i want it
17:23
when i go into a site and i want to look
17:25
at something and get some information
17:27
i don't want pop-ups and people trying
17:28
to bug me to uh
17:30
to sign up for a newsletter or something
17:32
you know if i want to sign up i'll sign
17:34
up and i'm assuming that's who you are
17:36
as well
17:37
um and by the way if you haven't caught
17:38
this by now
17:41
i'm a straight shooter i am not going to
17:44
mince words and if you work with me and
17:46
i hope you do give me a shot at it okay
17:49
all 50 states i'm going to tell you the
17:51
truth
17:52
as my grandfather said in stanley north
17:55
carolina
17:56
out in the barn to stand the annuity man
17:59
when i wasn't standing into any i was
18:01
just stand
18:02
he says stan if you remember if you
18:05
if you tell the truth you don't have to
18:06
remember anything think about that if
18:08
you tell the truth
18:09
you don't have to remember anything that
18:11
doesn't mean i'm better than everyone
18:13
that doesn't mean i'm smarter than
18:14
everyone
18:14
i will tell you i outwork everyone but i
18:16
will tell you this
18:17
if you don't need an annuity i'll tell
18:19
you i was on the phone
18:21
you know before i tape this i'm taping
18:22
this right now at night
18:24
because that's when things slow down for
18:25
me standing annuity man and one of my
18:27
last calls we went through the whole
18:29
process and at the end i said you know
18:30
what
18:31
if i'm you i don't buy an annuity right
18:33
now i wait if because this situation was
18:35
different
18:36
it wasn't involving omaga but i'm just
18:38
going to tell you i encourage you to try
18:40
to interact with me
18:41
schedule call it the annuityman.com
18:43
because i'm going to shoot it straight
18:45
so let's get back to the micas couple
18:48
questions
18:49
um a lot of people can you take
18:52
money out and we talked about taking out
18:54
interest and they want to say can i take
18:55
out the interest i don't want to test
18:56
the principal but can i take out the
18:58
interest
18:59
the answer is yes now when you take that
19:02
interest out
19:04
and you put in your bank account then
19:06
that interest is taxed at ordinary
19:08
income levels last and first out gains
19:10
first
19:10
but you can with a lot of these um mygas
19:14
just peel off the interest so let's give
19:15
an example let's just say there's a
19:17
multi-year guarantee annuity out there
19:19
at the time of this tape and let's just
19:20
say
19:20
it's at three percent i'm hoping that
19:23
someone watches this
19:24
five years snow goes three percent man
19:26
that's horrifically low
19:28
i hope that's the case but anyway as an
19:30
example you put a hundred thousand
19:32
dollars in and you can peel off the
19:34
three
19:34
three percent every year so three
19:36
thousand dollars a year so for five
19:37
years that's
19:38
fifteen thousand dollars and at the end
19:39
of the five year term you've peeled off
19:41
the fifteen thousand dollars in interest
19:43
and you still have your hundred thousand
19:44
dollars intact hello
19:46
no annual fees no hidden fees no nothing
19:48
blah blah blah and you
19:49
control the asset people are always
19:52
worried about that but we can do that
19:54
and we can set it up where it's hitting
19:56
your bank account you know
19:57
when you go through the application
19:59
process with the annuityman.com
20:01
i have the best team on the planet just
20:03
tell us exactly what you want to happen
20:05
we'll make sure it does and we'll take
20:06
care of all the paperwork from start to
20:07
finish soup to nuts you won't get in the
20:09
weeds or in the mud
20:10
um period i mean it's just that simple
20:14
um another question i get a lot and it's
20:16
one of the kind of the secrets and
20:17
little things
20:18
people say well uh do do mygos have an
20:21
upfront bonus
20:22
well first of all if someone's asking me
20:24
about an upfront bonus they've probably
20:25
been to a bad chicken dinner seminar
20:27
they probably heard the too good to be
20:29
true sales pitch of an indexed annuity
20:31
indexed annuities are cd products
20:33
multi-year guarantee annuities or cd
20:35
products period difference between the
20:37
two
20:37
multi-year guarantee annuity has a
20:39
contractually guaranteed annual interest
20:41
rate
20:42
indexed annuities protect the principle
20:44
that's the only
20:45
contractual guarantee there's all kinds
20:48
of
20:48
hypothetical theoretical projected you
20:50
know hopeful
20:52
unicorns chasing the butterfly returns
20:54
that agents always talk about
20:56
with the index options but at the end of
20:58
the day it's a fixed annuity it's not a
21:00
security index annuities aren't a bad
21:01
thing
21:02
we use them for delivery systems for
21:04
income uh
21:05
very efficient delivery system for an
21:06
income rider guarantee
21:08
but if you just want a guaranteed
21:10
interest rate
21:11
you go with the short-term multi-year
21:12
guarantee annuity not all the time not
21:15
not some of the time
21:16
all of the time all of the time period
21:19
do not get fancy do not try to be master
21:22
of the universe
21:23
do not believe the hype and here's
21:26
up front but getting back to that for a
21:28
bonus i i digressed a little bit upfront
21:30
bonuses
21:31
are attached typically to
21:34
index annuities so if you sign let's say
21:36
for instance if you bought this index
21:38
annuity they give you a 10
21:39
upfront bonus for signing stop for a
21:41
second stop
21:43
okay before you go hey that sounds
21:45
pretty good stan why don't we do that
21:46
that's free money
21:47
it's not free money there's not some
21:49
philanthropist that wakes up in the
21:50
morning at an annuity company and goes
21:52
you know what hmm i think i'm gonna give
21:55
money away today
21:56
no they don't do that okay the the bonus
21:58
is part of the overall contractual
22:00
guarantee
22:01
it's a non-event for me i call it candy
22:03
for the stupid
22:04
if you're dumb enough to buy an annuity
22:07
for the upfront bonus you're the rube at
22:09
the table in las vegas you're the sucker
22:11
you know you're you're you're that
22:12
person don't be that person
22:14
if it sounds too good to be true it is
22:15
every single time multi-year guarantee
22:17
annuities 99.9
22:19
of the time do not offer an upfront
22:21
bonus and let's just say that
22:22
point one did who cares it's all about
22:25
the yield to
22:26
surrender it's all about the guaranteed
22:28
yield
22:29
so upfront bonuses i wish i wish would
22:32
be done away with the annuity industry
22:33
because
22:34
it attracts it attracts people that
22:38
trust
22:38
too much okay and people that
22:42
think it's too good to be true it's just
22:44
that simple
22:45
um finally one of the last questions i
22:48
get all the time of with multi-year
22:49
guarantee annuities and we're talking
22:50
about the secrets
22:52
of the hidden secrets of multi-year
22:53
guaranteeing news i think i've covered a
22:55
bunch of it
22:56
uh most of it um but what a lot of
22:59
people say what's the catch standing
23:00
nudity man america's annuity agent
23:01
licensed in all 50 states what's the
23:03
catch
23:04
that i mean it does sound good to be
23:06
true it's too simple there's no
23:08
moving parts there's no manual fees
23:10
there's no market attachments i can buy
23:11
a short-term two-year
23:13
what's the catch why haven't i heard
23:16
about this before
23:16
staying the annuity man why are you the
23:18
only pied piper why are you screaming
23:20
into the hurricane
23:22
florida analogy it's not too good to be
23:26
true i mean it's
23:27
it's a contract just like a cd is a
23:29
contract with you in the bank or if you
23:31
bought one from brokers from you in the
23:32
brokerage firm
23:33
to pay a specific annual interest rate
23:36
for a specific
23:37
period of time that you choose with no
23:40
market
23:40
attachments no moving parts no hidden
23:43
fees
23:45
period and the commissions are built in
23:47
and hidden from the client
23:48
and but they're really really small
23:51
they're they're miniscule and when
23:52
compared to like the the
23:54
the commissions to indexed annuities
23:56
they're not on the radar
23:57
okay so i'm not saying that's bad with
24:00
index news but
24:01
the reason that when you go to the to
24:03
the financial advisor or the agent or
24:05
the bank and you tell them
24:06
you know i sprained my ankle and i don't
24:08
feel good i wreck the car what do you
24:09
think i should do and they go you know
24:10
what
24:11
i think you should get an indexed
24:12
annuity what i mean it's not a one size
24:15
fits all it's not square pegging a round
24:16
hole
24:17
but multi-year guarantee annuities if
24:19
you are a bunt single person
24:22
baseball analogy if you like simplicity
24:24
if you like short term
24:26
if you like understanding what you own
24:29
this is your product because you can
24:31
explain it to a nine-year-old no offense
24:33
to nine-year-olds
24:34
you know always kid that you know you
24:37
should never buy it
24:38
anything unless you fully understand it
24:41
that's a warren buffett rule warren
24:42
buffett's like someone asked him one
24:44
time
24:44
why don't you buy derivatives he goes i
24:46
don't understand them
24:48
the richest guy in the world right i
24:49
mean you're one of them he's like
24:51
you don't understand i understand coke
24:53
and i understand candy i understand
24:55
well that's what he buys same thing
24:58
multi-year guarantee annuities you can
24:59
explain to your spouse or partner
25:01
you can explain to the beneficiaries you
25:03
can explain to your children
25:04
you can explain it period and that
25:08
is a good thing i guess in closing with
25:10
a with multi-year guarantee annuities
25:12
the secret is
25:13
that they have been a secret the secret
25:16
is
25:16
that you need to know about them the
25:18
secret is
25:19
you need to include them right alongside
25:22
either
25:23
your muni buys your treasury buys money
25:25
market cds
25:26
fixed rate annuities multi-year
25:28
guarantee annuities and the other little
25:30
hidden secret
25:31
is that multi-year guarantee annuities
25:33
and fixed indexed annuities are
25:36
both cd products you know they both were
25:39
designed to create cd returns
25:41
the difference is multi-year guarantee
25:43
annuity returns annually are
25:44
contractually
25:46
guaranteed also remember this annuities
25:49
are contracts
25:50
