Hi Folks, J.G. Wentworth here. Today I'd like to talk about one of the greatest benefits of selling your annuity payments: potentially higher returns as a result of diversifying your investment.
Many baby boomers are turning to annuities as a safe investment opportunity because they are a source of guaranteed income during retirement years. With gaps in social security and other investments, I can't blame them. After all, amidst all of the current economy's uncertainty, who wouldn't want a product that provides lifetime income? At the same time, I can't help but wonder if the money they are investing in annuities could be growing quicker or producing higher returns by choosing diversified investment options.
As the saying goes, "Don't put all of your eggs in one basket." If you own an annuity, think about this expression in the context of your investment. Are you pooling all of your resources in one "basket"? If so, you might want to consider diversifying your investment, rather than channeling everything into one venture. In finance, diversification is the fundamental principal of mixing a variety of investments within a portfolio for sound investing - a strategy that is strongly recommended by advisors and other professionals in the industry. Could selling your annuity payments for a lump sum of cash give you the opportunity to earn higher returns in the long-run?
