Insights and resources

Can Systematic Risk Be Reduced? A Solution to Consider

In times of uncertainty, identifying investments that offer a suitable balance of risk and return can be challenging. It’s true that diversification can help reduce some risks, but other systematic risks, such as geopolitical conflict, war, inflation, and recessions, generally cannot be reduced through diversification alone. By allocating a portion of a portfolio to risk-managed solutions, such as modernized, fee-based annuities, you can help clients better prepare for these types of risks.

Controllable Factors and Uncontrollable Risks in a Retirement Spending Plan

As the need for consistent retirement income has increased, our analysis supports that adding a registered index-linked annuity (RILA) can help reduce a client’s exposure to uncontrollable risks impacting their retirement spending plan.
