To determine if a transfer makes sense, you must: compare the income rider amount, use the accumulation value (not the income rider value), ensure the new annuity provides a higher contractual guarantee, verify the transfer is a non-taxable event The annuity industry has strict rules to prevent unnecessary "flipping" of annuities. Any transfer must demonstrate a clear financial benefit to the consumer, with a side-by-side comparison showing a higher contractual guarantee. Stan estimates that about 70% of the time, you won't beat the existing income rider by transferring to a SPIA. However, he recommends checking to ensure you have the highest possible contractual guarantee.   "The annuity industry does not want agents and advisors out there transferring an account to create a commission for the agent or advisor. Whatever you think about the annuity industry, they really do care about the consumer." \u2014  Stan The Annuity Man.    Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http:\/\/theannuityman.com\/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  Book: Owner\u2019s Manuals: https:\/\/www.stantheannuityman.com\/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today: https:\/\/www.stantheannuityman.com\/annuity-calculator!  ","author_name":"\u201cFun With Annuities\u201d The Annuity Man Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/www.TheAnnuityMan.com","html":"
