Your client is considering annuitization (whether as a de-risking strategy or as a terminal funding option for a plan termination). What do you need to know to help them prepare for the annuity purchase? What are the key variables impacting the pricing of group annuity contracts? Will there be capacity issues that change the pricing variables and players in this marketplace? What should a prudent plan sponsor do to ensure compliance with the DOL's "safest available annuity provider" requirements and best serve their participants? Join our panel of actuaries and consultants who live and breathe annuity placements to explore these questions.
