We have several traditional LTC options with A-rated carriers. Clients can buy LTC as a single person, or as a joint policy with their spouse. Married couples will receive a marital discount whether both apply or just one. Clients generally pay premiums over a lifetime although we do have limited pay options.

Hybrid Life & Annuity LTC Options

Most of the LTC planning today is done using hybrid Life & Annuity products. Click here for more info on the costs of LTC and how Hybrid plans are footing the bill.

Life LTC Hybrid

Life insurance with Accelerated Death Benefit for Chronic/Critical/Terminal illness. Some will accelerate the full Death Benefit while others are limited. More involved LTC Riders can be added with some carriers. Premiums can be paid systematically or in lump sum. Click here for more on how hybrid life insurance is paying LTC claims.

Annuity LTC Hybrid

Generally require a lump-sum premium. Many of the guaranteed lifetime income annuities offer income enhancements for LTC. Some are for nursing homes only while others cover home care as well. Some annuities have more robust enhancements than others so picking the right product for the client is important. Click here for info on NEW exclusive Nationwide PEAK 10 Annuity.

Who Qualifies for an Annuity?

Who Qualifies for an Annuity?

Finding qualified prospects is probably the biggest challenge for most financial professionals. But before we can start hunting for prospects, we must first determine our target market and ask, who qualifies for an annuity. There are several different types of annuities today, which means several types of annuity candidates. Provided are examples of some prime prospects that an annuity would be suitable for.

One of the biggest fears of people in retirement today is the fear of running out of money. Most people today will be relying on a retirement account such as an IRA in order to replace wage earnings with income in retirement. These clients who need a known income stream can be great candidates for an annuity. Many fixed indexed annuities today offer guaranteed lifetime income features – these give clients the ability to receive guaranteed income and preserve remaining principal account balance along the way.

Most Americans are also concerned about market volatility in retirement. Now more than ever with the market crash in February and recent volatility. Many are worried about the economic outlook and the upcoming presidential election with respect to how it will affect their retirement accounts. Fixed annuities will provide clients with guaranteed rates of return regardless of market volatility. People are looking for guarantees, and these people may benefit from a fixed annuity.

Fixed and fixed indexed annuities can also provide clients better rates of return than other fixed instruments today. Interest rates, coupled with the tax-deferred nature of annuities, make them great options for clients/prospects looking for better rates of return. Clients needing Long Term Care protection or guaranteed payments in the event of death may also be good candidates for annuities. Many annuity products have enhanced payouts for LTC and/or death.

At Pinnacle Financial Services we can help determine if your client qualifies for an annuity. Just like picking the right tool for the job, we must know what job we are doing before we pick the tool! With the wide variety of annuity products today, picking the right option for your client is important. Give us a call today to discuss the annuity solutions we provide here at PFS.
