Savvy US individuals purchased over $17 Billion in 2013. What do they Know, that you don't?

Savvy individuals and investors purchased $17 B of one type of product this year. That represents almost 7% increase over last year. The investors did it to control risk, earn a decent rate of return and in many cases to guarantee lifetime income or at least guarantee income for a fixed period of time. How does that sound to you?  How about Zero market risk! Is that important to you?

These products are offered by some of the strongest financial companies in the world. The companies I recommend did not lose money in 2001, 2008 or 2009. They did not require any government bailout!  They actually made money in 2008-9. They are well positioned to weather the next market downturn which we all know  will happen! We just can  not say when.

These products work with both qualified and non qualified money. They work in  ROTH and Traditional IRA accounts, SIMPLE Plans, SEP Plans or even within ROTH or Traditional 401K Plans that I run for my clients. They can be used in Trusts, can fund charitable contributions or work within estate plans.
