EXPERT FINANCIAL ADVICE FROM MARC WEISS The Fixed Index Annuity Advantage When will interest rates rise? Is the market headed up or down? Many consumers near or in retirement have chosen to adopt a wait-and-see approach when it comes to their retirement savings. They have elected to remain in very conservative financial products because they are uncertain where to place their money, they consider current market conditions poor and they fear losing their hard-earned money altogether. If you have assets in conservative products such as CDs or money market accounts, there may be opportunities in which using a fixed index annuity could help make your money work harder, now and in the future.
