Grow Assets Safely
For
folks like you today, the
alternatives for your long term savings can feel less than appealing.
You know that you need to keep up with inflation on the one hand, but
are concerned about market risk on the other. It is difficult (but not
impossible) to grow assets safely while still enjoying a modest returns.
Banks can be a safe place for your money (and a place where you should
absolutely have some of your money) but the interest rates are not
terribly attractive. The market can be a great place to enjoy upside
potential but can also be a place where losses can be incurred. It is
like when Goldilocks wandered into the home of the three bears and
tasted their porridge. Much like the stock market, the first bowl was
too hot. Much like the interest rates paid by banks, the second bowl
was too cold. The third bowl struck a balance by not being too hot or
too cold, but just right. For your long term savings, let's look at an
option that could possibly be that "third bowl", a way to have downside
protection against loss (as long as you abide by the terms of the
contract) but still have some attractive upside interest potential.
Grow Your Money ... Safely
Fixed Index Annuities were introduced into the market place in 1995.
They have become enormously popular for conservative, safe money people
who want to enjoy competitive interest without the risks of the stock
market. Business Week magazine wrote in an article on Fixed Index
Annuities that "in a dicey Market, their no-downside feature and the
potential upside make for an attractive combination." So what is a Fixed Index
Annuity and how does it work? Further more, why is it safe?
