Variable Annuities
While today's variable annuities have more protection and growth options than ever before, the basic structure of the VA is simply a mutual fund portfolio with a tax-deferred wrapper around it. Therefore, I needed to create a section to deal with the uniqueness of the VA. Here, you will:

  • discover that variable annuity subaccounts that clone the same mutual fund are not created equal.
  • Examine the real life benefit of VAs that never gets discussed.
  • Review a list of the largest, most popular subaccounts, and
  • take a look at Tax Freedom Day Foundation charts that depict the cost of taxable investing over the years.
Coming Soon!
I am working on a report that compares the attributes of all variable annuity contracts and their subaccounts.
