Why We Don't Just Mail Information

Four people, same question: "Should I buy an annuity?" Four completely different answers.

A generic guide overwhelms you with information not specific to your concerns. But the right annuity depends on details that aren't on this page, like your state, your spouse, your existing accounts, your tax situation, and your income timeline. Here is how much those details change the answer.

Profile 1

Pre-retiree, still working

Age 58 Married Has pension Spouse 6 yrs younger
What actually matters for them
  • Survivor income if one spouse dies first
  • Timing of Social Security election
  • How the pension offsets income needs
  • Joint vs single-life payout structures
Profile 2

Recent retiree, solo income

Age 67 Widowed IRA + Social Security
What actually matters for them
  • Required Minimum Distribution strategy
  • Protection against outliving savings
  • Long-term care exposure without a spouse
  • Tax impact of moving IRA funds
Profile 3

Wealth preserver, legacy focus

Age 72 $1M+ across accounts Wants to leave for kids
What actually matters for them
  • Tax-efficient transfer to beneficiaries
  • 1035 exchange vs cash-out tradeoffs
  • Rider costs eating into inheritance
  • State-level estate tax exposure
Profile 4

Late starter, income soon

Age 62 Divorced Needs income in 3 yrs
What actually matters for them
  • Short surrender period to preserve liquidity
  • Immediate vs deferred income timing
  • Contribution room on a compressed runway
  • Emergency fund access during surrender window

Don't Make the Mistake of Taking a Cookie-Cutter Approach.

A fixed indexed annuity is not an off-the-shelf product. The contract is built around your specific needs, including market risk tolerance, income timing, protection features, and beneficiary treatment. A generic guide cannot ask about your situation. That is what the 15-minute call is for. A licensed specialist listens, then sends back only the contract options that actually fit you. No pitch. No obligation.

Built on Independent Research

The Research Behind This Conversation

Whether an annuity fits your retirement plan is a math question that researchers like Wade Pfau (Retirement Researcher), Michael Kitces (Nerd's Eye View), and the Boston College Center for Retirement Research have spent more than a decade modeling.

Their work shows that for some retirees, partial annuitization meaningfully improves the odds of not running out of money. For others, it's the wrong choice entirely. The 15-minute call is where that research gets applied to your specific numbers.

Sequence-of-Returns Risk
A market drop in your first retirement year can cut your safe withdrawal rate in half. Some structures protect against it.
Longevity Math
One in three of today's 65-year-olds will live past 90. Most retirement plans were not built for that horizon.
Bond Replacement
Pfau and Kitces frame annuities as a bond replacement, not a stock alternative. That changes the math entirely.

How This Works

Three steps. No surprises. You're in control at every stage.

1

Share your situation

A few questions about your age, assets, and timeline. Takes 60 seconds. Used only to match you with a specialist.

2

We connect you with a specialist

A licensed independent specialist in your state. One specialist, carefully selected. Not a list of agents who all call you.

3

You decide what's next

A 15-minute call. No pitch. No pressure. If annuities don't fit your plan, the specialist will tell you so.

Before You Pick Up the Phone

What Happens on the 15-Minute Call

No script. No sales pitch. Here's what the conversation actually looks like.

Minutes 0-3

Quick introduction

The specialist introduces themselves and confirms the basics from your form. You're in control of the pace.

Minutes 3-8

Your situation, in detail

Targeted questions about your retirement timeline, current income sources, tax bracket, and any concerns specific to your portfolio.

Minutes 8-12

A real read on fit

The specialist walks through which annuity categories could fit your plan, the tradeoffs, and which to skip. Or tells you straight if none of them fit.

Minutes 12-15

Your questions, your call

You ask whatever you want. You decide if there's a next step. There's no proposal pushed, no paperwork, no commitment.

No pitch. No pressure. If annuities don't fit, the specialist will tell you so.

If You've Been Here Before

Already Met With an Advisor and Walked Away Confused?

That's the most common reason people end up here. The first conversation often pitched a specific product before anyone understood your situation, leaving you with more options to compare and no clearer answer.

An independent specialist works in the opposite direction. They start by figuring out whether annuities belong in your plan at all. Only after that does the conversation move to which structures might fit. If the answer is "none," they'll tell you that too.

Find Out Which Annuity Structures Fit Your Portfolio.

Share your situation in 60 seconds. A licensed independent specialist in your state calls within 24 hours for a 15-minute conversation. No pitch. No pressure. No cost.

Annuity payouts often track Treasury yields. When the Fed moves, rates can shift in weeks. The decision is rarely a "wait and see."

Common Questions Before You Take the Call

Plain answers. No fine print.

What does the specialist actually do on the call?+

They ask about your retirement timeline, current income sources, tax situation, and the concerns specific to your portfolio. Then they walk through which annuity categories could fit, the tradeoffs (liquidity vs income, single vs joint life), and tell you whether annuities are worth exploring further for you. No proposal. No paperwork. No commitment.

Will I be put on a marketing list?+

Your information is shared only with the one specialist matched to your situation. You can opt out of further contact at any time by replying STOP to any text or following the unsubscribe link in any email. The full consent terms are listed above the submit button on the form.

Why is there no cost to me?+

The licensed specialist we connect you with pays us a referral fee, but only if you actually take the call. You're never billed for the consultation, the conversation, or any follow-up. Because we're paid by the specialist (not by you), we're incentivized to match you only when there's a real fit, not to forward your information to multiple agents.

What if the specialist decides annuities aren't right for me?+

They'll tell you that directly. The point of the call is to give you a clear answer, not to push a product. Independent specialists are not paid by carriers to sell specific contracts, so a "no, this doesn't fit your plan" is a real possible outcome.

How is this different from filling out a form on Google?+

Most online annuity forms send your information to multiple agents who all call you. We connect you with one carefully-selected independent specialist in your state. One conversation. Not a barrage of competing pitches.

Will the specialist try to sell me something on the first call?+

No. The first conversation is an evaluation, not a transaction. The specialist will discuss whether annuities fit your plan and which categories might be worth a closer look. Any actual product discussion happens later, only if you decide to take the next step.

What information do you share with the specialist?+

The information you provide on the form: your name, contact details, age range, approximate net worth bracket, and retirement timeline. That's the minimum needed for the specialist to prepare for a useful conversation. Nothing else is shared.

Is there a minimum net worth to take the call?+

No required minimum. Annuity options fit a wide range of retirement situations. The specialist will review your specific scenario on the call and tell you straight whether annuities make sense for your plan, or whether another approach would serve you better.
