Navigating Market Uncertainty

Inspiring Client Confidence during Tough Market Conditions

Volatile markets can have you fielding more communications from concerned clients and cause even the savviest investors to derail their retirement portfolios.

Keep Emotions at Bay for Strong Outcomes

As you know, when investors try to time the market, it rarely results in a positive outcome. But when emotions kick in, they may insist on jumping out when markets go south and jumping back in when markets normalize. Incorporating advisory annuities for a portion of clients' portfolios can help them stay focused on long-term financial objectives and continue to pursue growth potential or protection in any market. Consider the following client scenarios to help identify the opportunities with Pacific Life advisory annuities.

Clients want to stay invested for growth potential.

Diversify for Risk Management

Using a variable annuity to complement a portfolio allows clients to choose from a wide variety of investment options that can help reduce the effects of volatility that concern them while providing the advantages of tax deferral. Plus, now they can choose from investment options that provide the opportunity to define growth potential and loss protection.

Clients want to stay invested for future income potential.

Protect Clients' Future Income


Adding an optional benefit to your clients' variable annuities can help them feel more at ease, because they know their income is protected from market downturns. For an additional cost, lifetime withdrawal benefits enable your clients to take steady, lifetime withdrawals, no matter how markets perform.
 

In addition, we’ve designed an advisory fee-friendly structure that ensures allowable fees1 paid from nonqualified contracts will not be treated as a taxable distribution or impact the benefits of the annuity.

Clients want to get out of the market completely.

Provide Growth without Market Risk


When clients still feel uneasy about riding out turbulent markets and want to seek alternatives, a fixed annuity could be an option. Fixed annuities are not invested in the market, so conservative clients can protect their principal, particularly in a rising interest-rate environment, and earn a fixed rate of interest.

Clients are uncertain as to what action to take.

Pursue Growth While Mitigating Market Risk


For clients who know they need the potential for more growth than a bond, CD, or fixed annuity can provide but are not in a position to take on market risk, a fixed indexed annuity could be a strategic consideration. Fixed indexed annuities are not invested directly in the market, but instead, are tied to the performance of a market index.

1Allowable fees are advisory fee withdrawals that do not exceed an annual rate of 1.50% of the account value during the calendar year. Advisory fee withdrawals are limited to 1.50% of the account value for the calendar year if a living benefit is elected. If a living benefit is not elected, withdrawals for advisory fees that exceed an annual rate of 1.50% of the account value during the calendar year may reduce the death benefit amount provided by an optional benefit by more than the actual excess withdrawal amount. Withdrawals from the contract to pay advisory fees will reduce the account value.
