4.25% Guaranteed, What to do in Scary Times

Interest rates continue to rise rapidly. If your clients are holding cash and not ready to commit it to the market, they can park it for a while.
 
Fixed Multi Year Guarantee Annuity rates available today:
3 years- 3.90% with an A rated carrier
5 years- 4.25% with an A+ rated carrier
 
For those who want to park their money somewhere safe to protect their downside and have upside potential when the market rebounds, consider an indexed annuity.  As the market is falling, carriers are increasing their participation and cap rates.  This allows your client to protect their money from any losses and participate in some of the earnings when the market goes back up.

Bonds in a rising interest rate environment
 
Many are turning to fixed and indexed annuities to reduce the bond exposure in a portfolio as interest rates rise. Below are links for advisor & client-orientated insight to this strategy.
