i know annuities aren't smoke and mirrors. here at Allianz our fixed index annuities are top - i think only Aviva beat us out but with a product that's risky because it's based on securities (which is a whole 'nother topic of discussion perhaps not the most pertinent to this thread.)
but to get back to jmarkk1's initial question: i'm also curious as to how to get people into annuities, and from a marketing perspective are private labelled annuity products enticing? do they even exist? or are brand names the preferred products you guys like to sell?
Are you an agent or an employee of Allianz?
