Anil Vazirani Scottsdale Investment Advisor shares 3 Reasons Annuities Are The Unsung Heroes Of Retirement Income Planning
When you break it down, saving for retirement is fairly straightforward: Set aside a portion of your earnings each year, invest for a long-term time horizon, be patient, and grow your wealth. While this is obviously an over simplification, saving for retirement – at least from an investment standpoint – is pretty simple.
It’s when you actually reach retirement and start drawing income from your savings that things start getting much more complex and uncertain. As such, retirees generally consider guaranteed income and safety of principal more important than average returns.
And it’s not just a preference of retirees – the research backs them up, too.
When it comes to generating what is often considered to be a “safe” income source in retirement, there are really three major ways:
- Get safe income from the government through bonds or Social Security
- Use a bank with a money market account or CD
- Use an insurance company through life insurance or annuities
Despite a somewhat negative perception, annuities have been shown time and time again by researchers to add significant value to a retiree’s financial security. Additionally, annuities often outperform the other two sources of safe income options in retirement.
Let’s look at a few ways research has shown annuities to be valuable.
1. Reduce Portfolio Failure
Research conducted by John Ameriks, Robert Veres and Mark Warshawsky tested the sustainability of investment portfolios. Amazingly, their research found that when adding an immediate annuity into a retirement income portfolio, “for all time periods and for all portfolios, the addition of the annuity leads to a decline in the portfolio failure rates.”
