An illustration lacking volatility could create unrealistic expectations.

During a sustained bull market, it’s easy to forget that a downturn is eventually inevitable. When running illustrations for your clients, don’t forget that market volatility is an opportunity to highlight one of the fundamental benefits of an FIA: protection in down markets.

If your illustration isn’t showing volatility, it may turn a positive conversation with your client about the power of guarantees against market downturns into a negative conversation about the lack of an interest credit.

View our new sales idea, Illustration insights – Reveal the true value of a fixed index annuity with protection in down markets.
