In this episode, Bryan Anderson breaks down one of the most aggressively sold annuity products on the market: the Allianz 222 and Allianz Benefit Control. Bryan doesn’t pull any punches—he explains why these products aren’t necessarily bad, but how they're often misrepresented by salespeople chasing commissions. You’ll learn:

• 
  

  The three types of fixed indexed annuities and which one might actually fit your goals

  
  


• 
  

  Why the “big bonus” pitch can be misleading and what that bonus really means

  
  


• 
  

  What makes a performance-based income annuity work—and when it doesn’t

  
  


• 
  

  Real-world examples of clients who used these contracts correctly (and those who didn’t)

  
  


• 
  

  The red flags to watch out for when you're being pitched an annuity

  
  

If you’ve been offered an Allianz annuity or are just trying to make sense of your options, this episode gives you the clarity you need. As Bryan puts it, “All fixed index annuities do about what they're expected to do”—it’s up to you to make sure you understand exactly what that means for your future.
