Comprehensive Annuity Review and Evaluation Service™ (CARES)

As an annuity owner, you anticipate that your current contract is efficiently and effectively meeting your long term financial goals. However, as time elapses and objectives shift, you may wonder if the product you have is still the best solution for your needs.

A Proactive Approach

If you have concerns about your annuity, how it works, how its features meet your objectives, or whether there may be newer, better, more appropriate solutions, contact us. As specialists in Annuity Contracts, we are able help individuals nationwide.

Take The Next Steps

The CARES Process™ is a comprehensive review of your current contract.

It begins with a one page, fact-finding questionnaire to help you identify the ultimate purpose for the asset. We then analyze and detail the current product features in context with the designated goal. After that, a best-fit benchmark is selected.

The CARES Report™ provides education on your selected objective and highlights features that have the largest impact on its achievement. By comparing your contract to a comparable benchmark product, available today, we can help you decide whether or not the policy is meeting your goals sufficiently.

What Are the Benefits of an Investment Annuity Review?

How do fixed annuities provide income stability in retirement?

Fixed annuities provide income stability in retirement by converting a portion of your savings into predictable payments that are not tied to market performance. The insurance company credits a fixed interest rate during the accumulation period, and you can elect to receive income for a set number of years or for life. Because payment amounts are set by contract, they can help cover essential expenses regardless of market conditions (guarantees are subject to the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company).

How does an annuity review assess annuity performance and fees?

Over time, financial goals may change, and your annuity performance and fees may no longer align with these goals. An annuity review can assess whether the annuity still meets your current and future financial objectives, recommending adjustments if necessary.

How are annuity payout options evaluated?

Annuity owners might not be fully aware of the different payout options available. An annuity review can provide a detailed analysis of available payout options, such as lump-sum versus periodic payments, helping you to choose the option that best suits your retirement income needs.

What beneficiary and estate planning considerations does an annuity review cover?

Annuity owners may be unsure if their annuity is structured optimally for estate planning. An annuity review can examine the beneficiary designations and the impact on your estate plan, suggesting changes as needed so that the annuity continues to support your legacy and wealth transfer goals.

How does an annuity review address tax efficiency?

The tax implications of an annuity can be complex and may impact your overall tax strategy. An annuity review can analyze the tax status of the annuity, exploring opportunities for tax-efficient withdrawals and integration with your broader tax planning efforts.
