OMAHA, Neb. — The annuity experts at Senior Market Sales, Inc. announced today the release of their Free White Paper “Income Riders: A Balanced Perspective,” which offers insurance agents the entire story on one of today’s most popular annuity products. “Income Riders are a fantastic innovation-for the right client,” says Joe Elsasser, Associate Director of Annuity Sales for Senior Market Sales. “Our goal with this paper is to equip agents with the right questions to ask in determining whether an income rider-type product is the right choice to meet a particular client’s needs.”
“Income Riders: A Balanced Perspective” delves into the fine print of these often misunderstood products, offering an in-depth look at:
* The tax implications of Income Riders
* The fees associated with Income Riders
* Qualified vs. non-qualified money
* And the issue of spousal continuation
These are all commonly overlooked details that can greatly affect the product’s performance, illustrated here using concrete examples that will help agents decide if an income rider is appropriate for their clients. For example, did you know there is a significant chance that a client who invests non-qualified funds in an annuity will pay taxes twice on money withdrawn using an income rider?
