Bob Fugate, CEO and President of Retirement Financial Solutions, a retirement income planning firm, explains the value the right annuities can provide, including stabilizing cash-flow.

Knoxville, TN – September 17, 2013 – Bob Fugate, CEO of Retirement Financial Solutions, retirement advisor and Certified Financial Planner™ Professional, published a blog post on his website  titled “Love Them or Hate Them, Annuities Can Be Very Effective” In the post, Fugate contends that annuities, used wisely, can be a stabilizing force in retirees portfolios, ensuring stable income in times of market fluctuation.

Fugate writes “An annuity doesn’t need to fund all your income needs. Rather, use it as one part of a holistic plan that takes into account tax implications, inflation, rising costs of living, and future expenses. What an annuity should do is give you some protection against down markets (since the money you receive doesn’t change with stock market performance) and give you some stability with your cash flow.”

Retirement Financial Solutions specializes in holistic retirement planning, helping clients build, protect and preserve their assets so they have financial peace of mind and security throughout their retirement years.
