If you’re looking for a predictable way to grow your retirement income while safely growing your money regardless of market conditions, then we may be able to help you.
Now more than ever before, people who are retired or approaching retirement are considering annuities to secure their financial future.
And you can too …
… but only if you have access to all top annuities available and little-known “safe money” strategies that less than 1% of advisors know about.
If you’re ready to learn the simple truth about financially preparing for retirement today, make sure you review this page in its entirety…
You may have heard that the bigger the pile of money, the better your retirement will be, but that’s not necessarily true.
You see, your assets can be lost, stolen, defrauded, sued, decimated in a market crash, or wiped out by long-term care.
Sadly, many financial salespeople are still pushing the same old traditional financial advice they’ve been promoting for years, which may be downright dangerous for those approaching retirement.
A successful retirement should focus primarily on generating income, protecting your retirement savings, and securely growing your money. Often, clients reach out to us to generate a retirement income they can count on for the rest of their lives – and, if applicable, their spouses’ lives.
The retirement rules have changed — what previously worked in the past doesn’t work for the average investor anymore because the “old rules” of retirement no longer apply.
But here’s the good news!
There’s a straightforward way to get predictable and guaranteed income for life and get a reasonable rate of return – while protecting your money from market downturns.
There are certain annuities that may give you the potential to earn interest — when the market goes up while retaining all your gains if the market goes down.
When the market falls, your principal is protected, which means your account’s principal balance is protected from a market downturn. Because of this unique feature of certain annuities, you’ll never have to make up for past losses.
At Annuity Gator, our area of expertise is helping clients research, review, and purchase the best annuities right from the comfort of their own home. We also have exclusive access to certain annuities inaccessible to most financial advisors.
We aren’t like many other financial advisors known as “generalists.” A generalist financial advisor typically offers traditional financial planning services and may not have the expertise to help clients who are retired or approaching retirement.
We are retirement planning specialists and focus specifically on developing “safe money” strategies to ensure that our clients NEVER run out of money during retirement while helping protect their nest egg.
Our entire process of helping people financially prepare for retirement is based on math and science.
The financial industry has gotten too expensive, too complicated, and too out of touch with actually helping people reach their goals.
During your Annuity Evaluation, we will show you how to reach your goals, protect your assets, and do so in the lowest risk, lowest cost manner possible.
There is no cost or obligation to buy anything.
It will likely be the most valuable 30 minutes that you invest in your financial future this year.

P.S. First, ask yourself, what does your ideal retirement look like to you?
Think about it; your reasons are the best reasons.
Then imagine what your life would look like if you achieved your dream retirement lifestyle. What would life feel like to you?
Then ask yourself why this is important.
Some people would want to spend time on the golf course, while others would want to travel to visit friends and family. Maybe you would go out to nice dinners, enjoying the freedom that retirement has to offer WITHOUT any financial burdens or stress.
You have the peace of mind to spend your money freely and confidently, regardless of market conditions. And the best part?
You can sleep well at night knowing that you have predictable, guaranteed income coming into your bank account on the first of every month like clockwork, month after month, never stopping, and never running out for your entire life.
So what’s next?
Simply sit back & wait for your Annuity Evaluation Call with our team.

Before & After
Before I contacted Joseph, I knew nothing about annuities & was very sceptical of this product. After speaking with him & reading his book, “Wealth Compounded”, I feel much more at easy concerning fixed & indexed annuities.
My experience with Annuity Gator
I had a bad experience with another financial advisor, and as a result, I became very skeptical, and had developed trust issues. After several contacts with Rick Sparkman, I realized that there was something different about him. By this time, I had talked with several financial advisors. I felt very comfortable working with him, he gave me many education sessions. I have no regrets, and will refer him to any one who is interested in an annuity for retirement. Working with Rick was educational and enlightening, and I am looking forward to a wonderful retirement, because I am confident that the product that was chosen for me, was not commission driven. In my opinion Rick is a true Fiduciary.

Understanding your annuity
I feel I have a better of understanding of annuities with the help of Annuity Gator. I was hesitant to try an annuity because of things I had heard in the past. Now I think annuities have evolved for the better given the advice of financial advisors who help you focus on how the right annuity can help you achieve your goals in retirement. All of my questions were answered promptly. And I know the importance of reading and understanding all of the fine print in the contract.

Lisa’s new annuity
I have just replaced an old annuity with a new, better one. I could not have made it through this process had it not been for my advisor, William Seeley. He guided me every step of the way, by asking what I wanted/needed the annuity to do, explaining things I didn’t understand, answering my questions and most of all, staying in contact. He worked very hard on my behalf and got me the annuity that I needed to further my retirement goals. I will definitely recommend his services to my family and friends.
Helpful and thorough
Rick Sparkman was a wonderful advisor. He thoroughly considered my goal -guaranteed income -and provided a number of different options that allowed me to understand the different sort of benefits that would accrue from the different classes of offerings (cd like return, guaranteed payout for life after deferral, payout with variability indexed). I was able to clarify what my real goals are and what I was willing to sacrifice (access to the sum deposited, inheritance) in order to achieve a guaranteed high payout for life for both my wife and me. Annuities are complicated and are inherently costly but they can achieve specific goals if you understand them. Some part of everyone’s portfolio needs to be immune to market fluctuation and an annuity can be part of that strategy. I was given an excellent education with weeks of meetings and I came to a conclusion that fits my needs. Even if you do not think annuities are for you (and I was one of those) speaking with Rick helped me understand their appropriate postioning within my plans.
Jason Seibert of Annuity Gator annuities provision
The following is an evaluation of my experience with Jason Seibert of Annuity Gator Involving the acquisition of an annuity. My assessment of the services provided by Mr. Seibert is that they were exceptional in all aspects. He was extremely knowledgeable and absolutely professional. Additionally, it was obvious from our initial conversation that his genuine motivation was the provision of appropriate options tailored to the specifics of my rather complicated circumstance. Most impressively, Mr. Seibert did not focus on selling me. He spent the vast majority of our time listening . After careful evaluation he provided several choices tailored specifically to satisfy my requirements. In closing I can say that with Mr. Seibert s assistance I am absolutely confident that I made the right choices.
Excellent information

All my questions were answered and I
All my questions were answered and I shopped siffernt annuities for a while.
I was not sure and set uneasy to be Great advice, gave me a piece of mind.
After reading over the documents of my annuity, I felt as though I had made a horrible mistake. My mind was very uneasy and troubled questioning if I had made the right decision. After talking with a representative from Annuity Gator, the representative reassured me that even though the annuity that I invested in may not be the overall best annuity that it was a good annuity that will not allow me to lose any investments. The representative also went into detail and explained to me the pros and cons of my annuity. I received a thorough understanding which left me at ease with a clear mind. I would like to thank Annuity Gator for their honesty, professionalism, and great expertise.
Lance Riddle worked with my wife and I
My wife and I have been working with Lance Riddle the past few months. He has been very responsive and professional.

Sean is a wonderful young man who is a straight shooter. He is honest and clear, able to take the time to explain all that we needed. He teaches about different types of financial plans, and he actually follows up, by calls, emails and texts! Thank you!!
I had a limited knowledge about
I had a limited knowledge about annuities and wasn’t sure if they were a good fit for my portfolio. I submitted an request to Annuity Gator for more information and was assigned to Barry Young. Over the course of several weeks and through several video conferences Barry exposed me to various companies and took the time to patiently explain pros and cons of each. He never tried to push one company over another but through talking and reading downloaded material I became comfortable with what would be a good fit for me. He also introduced me to Gradient Investments who handle the managed side for investing and between the two we came up with a workable plan for my portfolio that I could be comfortable with. I highly recommend working with Annuity Gator for developing a comprehensive plan that will weather any economic climate.
Rectified $40,000 mistake
Terry Ciotti was amazingly helpful and saved me from making a $40,000 mistake. He helped make direct contact with the annuity provider and guided me through the process of rectifying my mistake. I cannot recommend Terry and Annuity Gator more highly.

Helpful & Not Overbearing
Was considering different annuities and thought this site might provide some clarification. Talked with Terry Ciotti who got back to me in a timely manner with some options. He listened carefully about what I wanted as an end result & provided appropriate guidance. Appreciated not having a product forced on me.
Glad We turned to Annuity Gator !!
Darryl J. Stein was fantastic he went through several scenarios, to ensure we got the best product. We were looking to get extra income from the money we had in other accounts. The product he found for us beat other financial advisors literally by thousands of dollars, we were very pleased with Darryl from Annuity Gator and would recommend him to all our family and friends.
Jason Siebert is the man period!
Jason Siebert is the man who you need when you consider retirement period! I m sure because I ve done my homework A year ago, when it became obvious to me that I would have to retire prematurely, I started my journey in search of retirement education and a financial advisor. I read many articles, I attended many retirement workshops, many webinars; I was meeting and conversing with many financial advisors local, throughout the country, in person, over the phone, virtually… My torment ended a couple months ago when I came across Jason Siebert with Annuity Gator. After he understood my financial needs, Jason revealed to me, using parallel comparisons, of what many brokers were offering, was without a doubt, not the best solution for my retirement goals. In just 2-3 virtual sessions with Jason, I learned more from him about annuities, retirement products, and my retirement options than I learned from others in a year. So, now I have the financial advisor. Thank you, Jason!
Larry has been very informative

I’m so thankful I met Jason Siebert
Due to the current economic climate, my IRA had lost more than $100,000. I needed to stop the bleed. I was interested in Annuities because i heard you never lose money. I started to research different companies and that is when i Met Jason Siebert with Annuity Gator. I explained i was new to the world of annuities. Instead of being pushy like another annuity salesman i ran into, Jason took his time over the course of six weeks to educate me. What a treasure. I entrusted my entire retirement savings to Jason and he was able to replace the amount I had lost in the market. Thank you Jason for the ease of mind.

Financial advisors, investment counselors, et al. and the problem of listening
Mr. Driggers’s strongest positive trait was his desire to please the client. He seemed very motivated to do that. He also seemed knowledgeable about the topic and the products available so he could offer good choices of products. Overall, I thought he did a very good job. I might attempt one constructive general comment that goes beyond Mr. Driggers. Personally, in my 74 years of life, I have never encountered an investment advisor, financial counselor, insurance salesperson et al. who listened to the client – except for one. They all talk a lot, often very amiably, but never really listened to me. This one individual who did listen sold insurance, and he was indeed unique. When he meant with us, the first thing he said was something like, “How are you doing? Tell me about yourself and your family. What are you thinking about? What are your needs and concerns? Why are you thinking about buying this product? And then he would listen and listen, taking a few notes, asking follow-up questions that, in retrospect were quite relevant to the business at hand. We ended up buying a large insurance policy from him, and remaining loyal to him until he retired. He apparently was quite successful as we received notices of the rewards and promotions he received. I am not a financial advisor. I don’t know much about it. But as a client, it makes sense to me that listening, asking appropriate questions, and trying to understand the clients needs, concerns, biases, feelings, and so on would be very important. Mr. Driggers did a fine job. If these comments are communicated to him, I hope he will not be offended but take them as an attempt at constructive ideas from a satisfied client.
I am a retired engineer and not that
I am a retired engineer and not that familiar with annuities. I originally chose Annuity Gator from the ethernet. I was a bit concerned that I chose wisely, as I wanted to find a representative that had my best interests as a priority. I couldn’t be more pleased with my choice. From the onset, Annuity Gator under the direction of Page Peterson has done everything possible to educate me and raise my level of confidence. As a direct result, I have contracted with Annuity Gator for what I believe is the best Annuity for my specific needs. A 5 star experience.
Good Customer Service
I was contacted by Bill Bieda, who did an excellent job of communicating with me by phone and email. Even though I had already lined up with another advisor, I was just checking the whole annuity idea out. He was helpful and willing to give advice.

Annuity Gator helped me find a suitable Annuity for Retirement Income
After contacting Annuity Gator I was contacted by a licensed insurance advisor who offered me a choice of annuities based on my specific retirement income need. I was presented with a list of insurance companies along with their company ratings. I went with an insurance company with an “A” rating that was offering a promotional interest rate during the five year accrual period which allowed for the principle investment to grow significantly prior to the first distribution. The advisor then worked with me to fill out the necessary forms (of which there are many) to submit an application to the insurance company I chose. Keep in mind that this process takes several weeks and multiple telephone calls, but the advisor was there for me every step of the way.
