What is an Annuity Assessment?

An annuity assessment is a personalized evaluation that analyzes your income needs, risk tolerance, tax exposure, and longevity profile to determine whether an annuity should be part of your retirement plan. It helps you understand how guaranteed income, tax‑deferred growth, and market‑risk protection fit into your overall financial picture.

How the AnnuityIQ Assessment Works

The assessment evaluates four core areas:

  1. Income Floor Stability
    Do you have enough guaranteed income to cover essential expenses?

  2. Market Risk Exposure
    How vulnerable is your portfolio to sequence‑of‑returns risk?

  3. Tax Efficiency
    Will RMDs or taxable withdrawals create unnecessary drag?

  4. Longevity & Lifestyle Planning
    Does your plan support a 25–30 year retirement?

Why Take an Annuity Assessment?

Most retirees don’t need “more products.” They need clarity.

An annuity assessment gives you a data‑driven view of:

  • How much guaranteed income you actually need

  • Whether your current portfolio exposes you to unnecessary risk

  • How annuities affect taxes, RMDs, and long‑term income stability

  • Whether an annuity improves or weakens your retirement plan

  • How to balance liquidity with lifetime income

 

This assessment is your starting point.
