— WHY THIS MATTERS

Most retirees make annuity decisions based on incomplete — or wrong —

information.

Financial personalities tell you to avoid them. Insurance salespeople tell you they're perfect for

everyone. Neither extreme serves you — and making the wrong call can cost you tens of

thousands in guaranteed income you were entitled to collect.

"I've heard annuities are full of fees and surrender charges. How do I know what's actually true?"

"What if the market drops right when I retire? I need to protect what I've saved."

"My advisor mentioned indexed annuities but didn't

explain how they work or whether I need one."

"I don't want to be sold anything. I just want someone to explain this in plain language."

About the Book

Written by an industry researcher — not a salesperson.

Why I Bought Indexed Annuities was written by Sheryl J. Moore, president of Moore Market Intelligence, which tracks annuity and life insurance sales data across the entire US market. She is one of the most cited annuity researchers in the industry.

She is not an advisor. She has no product to sell. She wrote this book because she grew tired of watching consumers make major financial decisions based on misinformation — from both sides of the debate.

It is the most credible third-party explanation of indexed annuities available in plain language — which is exactly why we send it to every person who completes a session with us.

Who You're Meeting With

A retired CPA and a retirement advisor — no salespeople, no scripts.

Annuity Education Resource was built on one premise: most retirees deserve honest, independent education before making one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. Between Eric's deep focus on retirement income planning and Ray's 40 years of CPA practice, they've seen what happens when people make these decisions without the right information.

Ray Brandt

Eric Gaddy

Retirement Income Specialist

Ray spent 40 years as a practicing CPA before retiring. As a Retirement Income Specialist, he brings a tax professional's perspective to the annuity conversation — one that most insurance agents simply don't have.

Eric has spent 33 years specializing in retirement income planning. He works exclusively with pre-retirees and retirees to help them build income strategies that hold up — before they make decisions they can't undo.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What people ask before they claim the bundle

When will I receive the book?

The book ships after your private education session is completed. This way we can make sure it goes to confirmed participants and your copy doesn't sit waiting — it arrives when it's most useful, right after your

conversation with us.

Is this actually free?

Yes — the book, the Risk Report Card, and the Zoom session are all complimentary. We cover printing and shipping. No charge, no catch.

Will I be sold anything on the call?

No products will be sold or recommended during the education session. The call's only purpose is to help you understand your options. If you later want to explore whether any product makes sense for your situation, we're happy to have that separate conversation — but that's not what this session is for.

I've heard bad things about annuities. Why should I learn about them?

Most of what people hear is about a specific type — often variable annuities with high fees and complex structures. Fixed indexed annuities are a different product category with different mechanics, costs, and tradeoffs. You don't have to like them after you learn about them. But the education is worth having before you make any decision.

How long is the Zoom session?

We schedule 45 minutes. Some sessions run shorter depending on your questions. You pick the time that works for you after submitting the form below.

Is this only available in South Carolina?

Yes. This offer is currently available to South Carolina residents only. We're based here and want to serve our local community well before we expand.
