It seemed like the majority of this article was positioned towards variable annuities with GMWB's. Although we believe this have a great fit with many investors, don't forget the value of a fixed indexed annuity regarding the income phase. Some of the positives are less fees per year, your accumulation value can't go down due to negative market swings, and some of their annuity GMIB's are as high has 8-10% per year in deferral.
