Annuity Scope is an extension of M&O Marketing, one of the top 10 largest brokerage general agencies in America. If you purchased a fixed annuity policy from an independent, non-captive financial professional, that professional very probably would have had to submit your annuity application through an intermediary such as us.
Since 1976, we have worked with tens of thousands of American retirees who purchased fixed annuity products within their retirement savings. For over 20 years, The Annuity Service Center has been available to help consumers with their questions regarding their fixed annuity products.
With annuity scope™, now is a good time...
We appreciate and respect that you already know much about annuities. Growing sales of annuities around the country continues to show that annuities are an important planning component for many retiring and retired individuals and families. From year to year, annuity products continue to see changes in benefits and designs as they adapt to consumer needs and demands as well as market conditions. A periodic evaluation of your annuity is a very good practice and a third-party opinion can be very valuable.
Perhaps you don’t fully understand how your annuity is designed to work for you specifically? Maybe you don’t remember how your particular annuity’s features are meant to help your retirement? Just as technology evolves, it is likely that new options may now be available regarding your annuity.
WHAT IS ANNUITY SCOPE™
The purpose of Annuity SCOPE™ is to help annuity owners and the financial professionals who serve them to make well-informed decisions about their future. Annuity SCOPE™ is a third-party annuity evaluation service available only through a small number of financial professionals. Annuity product and marketplace information is accessed through several
nationally-renowned and industry-leading information services.
This product research is integrated with the product expertise and experience of
Annuity SCOPE™ analysts. Annuity SCOPE™ evaluates the annuity you own based
upon annuity statements and other information you can provide. This analysis is specific to
your annuity and it enables your financial professional to bring a highly personalized review
to your income planning and decision-making.
The sponsor of Annuity SCOPE™ is M&O Marketing, LLC, a national leader in providing
practice and product support to independent financial professionals since 1976. Many
financial services today are delivered to individuals and families by professionals who are
independent and not obligated to specific insurance and/or investment companies. The
independent professional can address client needs in their best interest with a choice of
solutions from a wide range of carriers and companies.
Annuity SCOPE TM begins with a review of a recent statement of your annuity or annuities. The more information you can provide, the more comprehensive our review can be. Please share any specific questions or concerns you have about your annuity. Annuity SCOPE TM will do its best to review everything relevant.
Provide Annuity SCOPE TM with your date of birth and for any joint annuitant or owner too. Provide your initial annuity premium, if possible. If you are making annuity withdrawals, describe those and your future withdrawal plans. Describe your goals and needs for your annuity portfolio. Are your present goals and needs the same as when you purchased your annuities? If not, how have they changed?
Many older annuities have performed well and continue to meet the needs and goals of the annuity owner. Initial annuity purchase objectives often still apply. Nonetheless, the needs and plans of some annuity owners have changed substantially and they might benefit from some change in their plans.
Some older annuities have not held up well over time, suffering mediocre or worse performance, or hit with increasing annuity costs. Some annuities were issued by insurance companies who have seen major changes in their business strategy, ownership, their financial condition, and/or customer service.
