Annuity Buyer's Guide, page 1
November 21st, 2004 at 9:40 pmBUYER'S GUIDE TO FIXED DEFERRED ANNUITIES Prepared by the National
Association Of Insurance Commissioners The National Association of
Insurance Commissioners is an association of state insurance
regulatory officials. This association helps the various insurance
departments to coordinate insurance laws for the benefit of all
consumers. This guide does not endorse any company or policy. It is
important that you understand the differences among various
annuities so you can choose the kind that best fits your needs.
This guide focuses on fixed - deferred annuity contracts. There is,
however, a brief description of variable annuities. If you're
thinking of buying an equity-indexed annuity, an appendix to this
guide will give you specific information. This Guide isn't meant to
offer legal, financial or tax advice. You may want to consult
independent advisors. At the end of this Guide are questions you
should ask your agent or the company. Make sure you're satisfied
with the answers before you buy. Jeff McLeod www.happyretiree.com
