Designing Efficient Income…for Life

With less-than-inspiring prospects for market returns, investors face a stiff challenge in generating efficient income while still bestowing a legacy at the end of retirement. Reaching beyond traditional market building blocks to embrace the income-generating power of annuities could go a long way toward tackling the income challenge.
