In Part 1 of our Beyond the Math miniseries, we spoke about the challenges investors can face with decumulation in retirement. In Part 3, we dig into a tool often proposed to help: annuities.
On this episode of The Behavioral Divide presented by Avantis Investors®, Professor Hal Hershfield interviews University of Illinois Professor Jeff Brown, author of the forthcoming book “Will My Money Last?”, who has studied annuities for three decades, along with David Busch, CIO of Trajan Wealth.
Their discussion focuses on what various types of annuities are really designed to do, why they are often misunderstood, and the investor psychology often at play when annuities are presented as a potential tool within a financial plan.
