However, with this added growth potential comes additional risk. During periods of market volatility, your principal and monthly payments may fluctuate or fall below their initial value. Planning for a lengthy retirement is no easy task — especially in light of the recent bear market. Variable annuities may help add growth potential to your portfolio.

Some contracts have predetermined portfolio balances and others will list a limited number of available mutual funds. The combination of investment limitations and surrender charges means that your money is much less mobile than it would be in an equivalent securities account.

Yes it is interesting to see that most mainstream media are against annuities. For some people, they are the right financial product to buy. I do think though that there needs to be some more regulation on how these products are sold. It is not uncommon for some unscrupulous individuals to prey on the elderly. Very provocative post.
