Dear All
I have been following this forum for sometime and appreciate all the inputs shared here on a wide variety of financial topics. We (My wife and me) are at a point of moving/exiting about ~200,000 from a host of medium performing non retirement annuities (Black rock, Franklin Templeton). We are looking at the following options to invest our ~200,000 and would appreciate any quick feedback or pointers on the same as well as any pointers on how to evaluate the same.
Annuity – American General Life
• Option 1 – S&P 500: 100% total annual growth upto current cap of 5%-10 year surrender
• Option 2- ML(Merrill Lynch) Strategic balanced index -80% of annual return.-10 year surrender
Annuity – Lincoln National Life
• Option 1 – Fidelity Aim dividend participation index= 100% annual return – 10 year surrender
Annuity - Delaware Life (7 year surrender)
• Option 1 – S&P500- annual performance trigger - 4% return is triggered if any increase in S&P500 during the policy year.
• Option 2 – s&P500 – 100% of total annual growth upto current cap of 5%
• Option 3 – Morgan Stanley Global opportunity index – 90% of annual return.
Appreciate all your help and wishing you all a happy holiday period, Happy Christmas and New Year.
Best regards
