Pahut said, ” Through the pandemic, about 100,000 people moved to Montana; we noticed that financial professionals in the other state still managed their financial matters. My goal is to develop a relationship with my clients so that the rapport and trust are so high that they see the tremendous financial tools I can offer them to consider. I feel that mitigating risk is a huge need for all of my clients, and where possible, I present asset classes that provide guaranteed income opportunities, such as through annuities.”

Guaranteed income opportunities, also known as “GIAs,” provide retirees with a guaranteed stream of income from annuities that lasts for the rest of their lives. This type of arrangement can be especially beneficial for those who are worried about outliving their retirement savings.

Not all GIAs are alike, however. Some offer more flexibility than others, and it’s essential to understand the features and benefits of each before making a decision. Here’s a look at some things to consider when evaluating different GIA options:

  1. How long does the income stream last?
    Some GIAs only provide income for a set number of years, while others pay for as long as you live. If retirees are worried about running out of money in retirement, a GIA that pays out for life can give them some confidence.
  2. How much income will they receive?
    The amount of income they’ll receive from a GIA depends on several factors, including the size of the initial investment and the performance of the underlying assets. Some GIAs also offer inflation protection, which can help keep purchasing power intact over time.
  3. What are the fees and expenses?
    All investment products come with fees and expenses, and GIAs are no exception. Be sure to compare the fees charged by different providers before deciding.
  4. What are the risks?
    No investment is without risk, and GIAs are no exception. It’s important to understand the risks involved before making a decision.
  5. What are the tax implications?
    The tax treatment of GIAs can vary depending on the product type and how it’s structured. Making the decision to purchase a GIA is an important one. But with careful consideration, it can be a valuable addition to your retirement income plan. Be sure to consult with a tax advisor before making a decision.
