The search for coveted retirement income Episode 23
Episode Summary
The last decade of low interest rates has led investors down potentially risky paths in the search for coveted retirement income. Annuities, which historically entailed high commissions and were looked down upon by fee-only advisers, have seen a resurgence in recent years as they have removed fees and possibly provide that oft-searched-for retirement income.
