Why a Fixed Annuity is a Good Fit For "Mattress Saver" Clients

Are your “mattress saver” clients looking for a better option? Even if they aren’t – you might want to offer one.

If you have retirement clients who you consider “mattress savers” – it probably means they just want to keep their money safe. They may not be keeping their money stashed under a mattress, but there is a good chance they are keeping a portion of their savings in some sort of deposit account – such as a Certificate of Deposit (CD).¹

“Fixed annuities may offer different flexibility and benefits that many CDs do not offer.”

There are good reasons people choose a CD for savings.  They choose CDs for their set interest rates until maturity and the security of knowing their savings are immune to market volatility. 

But what if you could offer your clients the similar protection from market losses, and the possibility of a better fixed rate using a fixed annuity? 

Keep in mind, fixed annuities are not FDIC insured and all guarantees and protections of the product are based upon the claims-paying ability of the insurance company that issues them. Fixed annuities may, however, offer different flexibility and benefits that many CDs do not offer.
