The sale of indexed annuities, one of the more popular long-term savings products lately, has now seen eight straight years of growth.
As a financial producer, you’re aware that one of the main concerns of your clients is how to efficiently and responsibly pass on their wealth, whether it’s to younger siblings, children or even grandchildren. While there are numerous ways your clients can leave inheritances, certain methods create more burdens than your clients would prefer.
Retirement concerns affect many Americans, including a large portion of high net worth consumers. Many less-affluent individuals are concerned about outliving their retirement savings. This is not a pressing concern for high net worth consumers, but they have their own financial concerns to contend with.

There’s a good chance many of your clients are experiencing worry over retirement. Such a significant life transition is bound to come with feelings of apprehension, and it’s typically the financial side of things that gives clients the most pause.
