Derided, This Investment Now Looks Wise,” she expressed her most memorable finding, “Be- cause of such guarantees, many holders of variable annuities ac- tually saw their accounts in- crease 6 percent or more in val- ue last year (2008), when the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock in- dex dropped nearly 39 percent.” Then noted economist, au- thor, attorney and financial guru Ben Stein reflected on his wealthy friends who lost signifi- cant amounts of their retirement funds. He stated “In a word, I am seeing real desperation, which I have never seen before up close and personal. This is especial- ly true of those facing retire- ment. I see it in very tony neigh- borhoods where I hang out, like Beverly Hills and Rancho Mi- rage and Malibu. Older peo- ple and even young people are scared. “People who bought guaran- teed income in the form of annu- ities from insurance companies have been saved. As far as I am aware, no insurers have failed to make the guaranteed pay- ments they were contracted to make. People who bought vari- able annuities with value floors and guaranteed incomes and in- flation riders have been able to laugh at the economic torna- does. There are many people who hate insurers, but for those who put their trust in insurance companies to guarantee their old age comfort, there has been security.” So, to summarize, there is no perfect solution to the safe nest egg dilemma during a time of economic turmoil.
