Annexus Product Innovation Benefits Retirees With First Stacked Growth Option™ and Lifetime Inflation-indexed Income
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Annexus Group®, the innovation leader, announces the launch of the revolutionary BalancedAllocation Lifetime Income Rider™ (BALIR™)* as the newest addition to its line of retirement products.
"Low interest rates, high market volatility and global uncertainty have made it challenging to design retirement income products that truly provide value to the consumer. Many individuals today who are at or nearing retirement face what may be one of the biggest financial challenges of any generation in history. How do they safely utilize their retirement savings, generate strong growth and ensure it will last over extended life expectancies? Annexus™ has been focusing 100% of its resources on helping individuals answer this question as evidenced by our patented innovations," said Annexus™ co-founder Don Dady.
The patented BALIR™ applies new technology to create the Stacked Growth Option™ (SGO™). SGO™ stacks the actual indexed interest credits on top of a 5% guaranteed fixed interest. When paired with an inflation-indexed income option, the SGO™ offers consumers a powerful income solution that meets today's economic challenges.
"We have innovative approaches that are needed in today's economic environment. By applying our innovation, Annexus™ has recently developed a new solution that offers retirement income with strong uncapped growth potential and protection from market downturns. Ultimately, when the inflation-indexed income option is added, this generates an inflation-indexed income that the consumer can't outlive, making BALIR™ the first of the next generation in retirement income products."
"What we've been able to accomplish with the BalancedAllocation Annuity™ (BAA) and the BALIR™ is to maximize the benefit of a positive market index while reducing the risks. Our number one goal is to help families protect their savings while growing their retirement income," said Annexus™ co-founder Ron Shurts. "With BAA and the BALIR™, clients benefit from uncapped market gains while being buffered against market downturns. We believe BALIR™ is revolutionary and can be crucial to helping many Americans look forward to the future."
