Annuities can be a safe way to grow your money \\u2013 but they\\u2019re not without their limitations.

In our \\u201cAnnuities \\u2013 Why Ever Use Them\\u201d series, we\\u2019ve talked a lot about the advantages of using a fixed index annuity. However, there are always drawbacks to an investment.

If you\\u2019re thinking about purchasing a fixed index annuity, there are two main limitations to consider. The first is how much liquidity you have, and the second is surrender charges. In this episode, we\\u2019re going to explain how both of these limitations work, how to avoid them, and what you can do to balance your portfolio.

In this episode, find out:

  • A quick recap of our annuities series so far
  • How liquid an annuity is and how that affects your overall portfolio
  • What a surrender charge is and how it works
  • The three elements to investing
