Licensed Annuity Broker
Independent Annuity Broker
Before investing in an annuity contract, it is important to review all your options. Each annuity company in Canada uses a different formula to produce its annuity rates. Finding the best company for your situation can mean a significant increase in your annuity’s monthly payments. Unfortunately, the agent system used by most companies makes it difficult to objectively compare your options. Working with an independent annuity broker, gives you an unbiased view of your options and helps you receive the best monthly income available.
Insurance Agents
Most annuity companies sell their products through company agents. An agent makes his living by selling his company’s products for a commission. He doesn’t make any money for referring you to a competing annuity company. Even if an agent is willing to send clients to other companies, he probably doesn’t know the products well enough to make a good recommendation.
While you can try to solve this problem by meeting with multiple agents, this can create other problems. First of all, meeting with a company agent is time consuming. You need to schedule an appointment, meet with the agent, and wait for him to prepare your annuity quotes. If you try to meet multiple agents, it can take weeks. Each agent you meet will be trying to sell his company’s products. Thus you risk buying the annuity with the best salesman, not the best investment return.
Annuity Brokers
One way to get around the agent issue is by working with an independent annuity broker. An annuity broker is a third-party representative that doesn’t work for any one annuity company. The broker makes money by referring customers to different companies. Since a broker earns roughly the same payment from each company, he is not biased towards anyone product or company. He can take an unbiased view of your situation and put you in touch with the best company.
