The BREW

Unlock a way to deliver guaranteed lifetime income with less capital than a traditional bond or CD ladder—while actually protecting more of your managed assets.

E4IS’s Doug Twiddy, Director of Annuities & Partner; and Brandon Barker, Annuity Case Design Specialist, walk through how to position income annuities as a powerful alternative to CDs, MYGA ladders, and bond ladders for retirement income planning. They compare required capital, longevity risk, and broker-dealer constraints, then show how lifetime income riders and the RMD strategy can create guaranteed income for life while preserving more assets under management and simplifying advisors’ workflows.
