Colorado Agent Annuity Training Requirements
The state of Colorado requires that agents complete a one-time, four-credit CE annuity training course AND a company-specific product training prior to soliciting or selling annuity products in the state. All producers licensed on or after April 1, 2011 must complete both of these requirements.

Apples to Apples
As we start a new quarter, this is a great time to be selling annuities. The spreads have increased when compared to Certificates of Deposit.

  • According to Bankrate.com (as of 4/4/11) the National Average for a 5-year CD is 1.71%.
  • After tax this will net your client about 1.23% with a marginal tax bracket of 28%.
  • If we could offer a 67% better return could you sell it?  We are offering 2.85% locked in for 5-years on our Secure Living Liberty ($100,000 to $249,999).
  • How about a 93% better return? The Secure Living Rate Saver is offering 3.30% locked in for 7-years ($100,000 to $249,999).
  • Or if you need a 5.40% return, we are currently offering this as a 1-year rate on our Secure Living Liberty ($250,000 or more).
