Fit for a Fiduciary: How annuities fit into a fiduciary’s practice


PRESENTER: Brett Ford Vice President, Divisional Sales Manager Great-West Financial®	PRESENTER: Lance Carlson Vice President, Divisional Sales Manager Great-West Financial®	MODERATOR: David Armstrong Editor-in-Chief WealthManagement.com

The Department of Labor (DOL) fiduciary rule has had a rippling affect across the industry. In addition to expanding the definition of a fiduciary, the fiduciary rule requires advisors to work in their clients' best interests. The fiduciary rule has left many advisors wondering where annuities fit into retirement plans. At the same time that the financial advice industry is facing new regulatory hurdles, our clients are also facing their own set of challenges. They need financial advice now more than ever as some may have to rely solely on their own personal savings to generate retirement income.

In this webinar, Lance Carlson and Brett Ford, both Vice Presidents, Divisional Head of Sales, will lead a discussion on why annuities are a fit for a fiduciary, specifically addressing:

• Taxation of annuities
• Investments available on variable annuity platforms
• Income guarantees of variable annuities
• Variable annuity flexibility
• Costs of variable annuities
