Quick Quote
A real annuity rate with zero strings attached.
Get Started

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
