Annuities Included on Barron’s Annual Guide

Lastly, the ForeStructured Growth Registered Index-Linked Annuity may be for clients to consider who are seeking a product that provides an element of risk protection with greater upside potential than what is currently provided through traditional fixed income options. As it pertains to all of these annuities, each individual’s situation is unique to their goals and circumstances. Individuals are encouraged to work with their financial professional to find solutions that work best for their retirement needs.
Barron’s Methodology: To help frame the various annuity categories, how they work, and the best offers these days, Barron’s tapped Cannex, an independent research firm specializing in retirement products, as well as company data to compile a list of 100 competitive contracts based on common investor objectives and a set of assumptions, such as an investor’s age and investment size. Because many annuities are designed to last for the long term, only contracts from companies with an AM Best financial-strength rating of A- or above were considered. Each investor’s situation is unique to their goals and circumstances. Each purchaser’s best interests should be considered prior to the purchase of any annuity.
