Comparing Index Annuity Income Riders and Dias: Shootin’ It Straight With Stan

“Fun With Annuities” The Annuity Man Podcast

In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:

• An overview of Deferred Income Annuities

• Finding the best fit

• Income Riders attached to Indexed Annuities

Key Takeaways:

• DIAs are essentially single premium immediate annuities deferred past one year. It has no moving parts, no annual fees, and no market attachment, making it a straight transfer of risk for lifetime income. DIAs can be used in Roth and traditional IRAs, and are taxed based on the account type.

• DIAs are efficient, no-cost, no-fee transfer-risk pension products that can be deferred for up to 40 years. Compare DIAs and income riders on Fixed and Indexed Annuities to find the best fit based on contractual guarantees and flexibility.

• Income Riders attached to Indexed Annuities provide future income needs. Income Riders are separate ledgers that cannot be cashed in or transferred but can be used to determine a lifetime income stream. They offer flexibility, such as a 10% free withdrawal annually, but this can disrupt the income rider guarantee.

• Compare both DIAs and income riders using the four filters: contractual guarantees, carrier ratings, flexibility, and fees.

"Don't fall for sales pitches. These are contractually guaranteed commodity products. There's not one that's better than the other, and if you use those four filters, you're going to make a good decision." — Stan The Annuity Man.
