It’s a Good Time to Take Another Look at VAs

Variable annuities are the most popular annuities because they offer by far the best shot at capital appreciation. But it’s a safe bet that they haven’t been popular much of this calendar quarter, VA sales typically track the ups and downs of the stock market, and the stock market got off to an abysmal start in 2016.  Happily, the backdrop has markedly improved.
