Annuities offered by Jerry Lucas to Colorado residents only.

No Load and Low Load Annuities

We have no load and low load annuities from several excellent companies where you can save money by reducing or eliminating sales commissions and high exit fees and surrender charges.  By eliminating sales commissions, more of your money goes into the annuity investment to work for you, rather than into the annuity salesperson's pocket.  Big sales commissions will kill your annuity performance.  Beware of big sales commissions on annuities and surrender charges they take if you want to get out.

If you already own an annuity, we can explain how you can do a tax-free Section 1035 exchange of your annuity into a better product.

Fixed and Variable Annuities

Fixed and variable annuities can help you achieve your investing goals in a tax-deferred product.

 

Annuities are issued by insurance companies and provide a tax-deferred vehicle for savings and a guaranteed stream of income during retirement. You can choose an income stream for a certain number of years or for life.  Fixed annuities provide a fixed rate of return. Variable annuities offer numerous investment choices with a variable rate of return, tied to the stock market or bond market.  Some annuities also offer long term care benefits.

 

You can buy a very good variable annuity named Monument Advisor directly from Jefferson National Life Insurance and pay no sales commissions and no surrender charges.  Minimum investment is $25,000.  It offers over 200 investment choices to suit your needs.  We can answer your annuity questions.  Contact us by phone or email for a free consultation.

For a variable annuity, you will need someone to select and manage your investment choices.  Although many companies claim to have a wide variety of investment choices in their variable annuity, upon a closer look, this is often an opinion, not a fact.  You need lots of different asset classes for investment choices so that you can change your investment selections when needed.

Some variable annuities offer many investment choices that are all similar, in the same asset class, while not offering investment choices in other asset classes that you may need.  For proper diversification and asset allocation, you need lots of different asset classes to choose from, not lots of investments in the same asset class.  A side by side comparison of investment choices, sorted by asset class, is needed to make a wise decision and avoid buying a bad annuity.

If you prefer, you can reduce or avoid stock market investments by choosing only bond market investments such as money market, short term bonds, government bonds, corporate bonds, high yield bonds, strategic income bonds, foreign bonds, emerging market bonds and global bonds.  We can help you design a diversified bond market portfolio of fixed income investments.  This provides great flexibility, allowing you to choose stock market investments for your portfolio only if and when you want to.

If oil and gas stocks continue to do well, you want to have an energy investment to choose.  If the stock market goes into a long decline, you want to have a bear market fund to choose.  Other sectors that are valuable to have available are health care, technology, real estate, and financial.  International stocks and emerging markets are also good to have on the menu of choices.

We can help you compare annuities and avoid costly mistakes before you buy.  If you buy the wrong annuity, you may be trapped and find you cannot get out for many years without paying a big penalty in the form of an exit fee or surrender charge.

Also beware of buying annuities inside your IRA account.  This is usually a very bad idea since your IRA is already a tax deferred account.  An annuity is also tax-deferred so there is no tax benefit from buying an annuity in an IRA.  And the annuity allows you to invest as much as you want.  But if you put it inside an IRA, your annual IRA contributions are limited. 

CAUTION: Many annuity companies have gotten into trouble for deceptive sales practices of selling annuities for IRA accounts.  This is driven by sales people eager to earn a commission on the sale, without fully explaining the problems and limitations they are causing for you.  Beware of annuity sales people working for commissions.

As a fee-based investment advisor and annuity advisor, we can advise you or manage the investment choices in your variable annuity for a low management or advisory fee.
