THEY OVERSOLD ME HYBRID ANNUITIES
After establishing a rapport with the broker, who was very nice, He sold me two rather large hybrid annuities. Fortunately, I had met with another broker from another company who advised me that I was invested too heavily in these annuities and why I needed further diversification. I cancelled one of the annuities within the "free look" period and am glad I did. The broker also told me one of the annuities in my portfolio was a very good one, when it turns out it was one of the worst annuities ever sold and the subject of multiple class actions and a 10 million regulatory settlement by the company. Surprisingly, haven't heard from the broker since I cancelled the annuity and I guess HE WAS MORE INTERESTED IN HIS COMMISSION FROM THE SALE OF THE ANNUITIES, THAN IN ESTABLISHING A LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP WITH ME. I was also presented with an institutional fund that I was very interested in, but the broker would not give me any of the promotional material to take home and review. Said it was illegal and he couldn't let go of his material or even the notes he used to explain the hybrid annuity to me. NOT GOOD FOR CREATING TRUST, if he wouldn't put his word in writing, i wouldn't believe his word!! WILL NOT USE AGAIN!! BUYERS BEWARE~~
