Each month, we carefully monitor products from our top insurance carriers to see what is performing best in our ever-changing marketplace. With the annuity industry in a constant sea of change, it’s hard for agents and financial advisors to monitor everything.
We want you to know the latest so you can maintain a sharp, competitive edge. Our research includes a watchful eye on many fronts: carriers’ quality of service, renewal rates, indexed-based product caps, income option rates, income scenarios, not to mention much more.
To help you keep a finger on the pulse of the industry, each month we share what our advisor-partners are writing. Our updates are below, which are real-time illustrations we have pulled from top carriers so you stay updated of what’s going on.
Safe Money Resource has relationships with top insurance companies so you can offer your clients a wide range of top-shelf solutions, from high income payouts and promising accumulation potential to high fixed-interest opportunities. Our dedicated annuity specialists are carefully monitoring the marketplace for new innovations, updates good and bad to current insurance contracts, additions of solid new annuity contract benefits, and even approvals on a state-by-state basis.
This is one of many ways that Safe Money Resource exercises its duty to first-tier advisor service. We’re proud and honored to have a 90+% retention rate among the agents as well as advisors that we serve each day.
