In this episode of The Asset Preservation Hour, financial advisor Stewart Willis broadcasts from the Pacific Northwest and gets straight to the point about today’s market turbulence, interest rate swings, and the sometimes-confusing world of retirement income tools. Stewart and Spike Spengel break down what’s really happening in the markets, why comparing your portfolio or annuity to past “highs” can mislead you, and the best action steps to reduce financial stress right now.
Stewart explains why it’s time to reassess your portfolio risk, the right way to secure your retirement income, and when it makes sense to consider a Roth conversion or even refinance old annuities. You’ll learn the truth about annuity “bonus” offers, the hidden costs of piling on extra features, and why there’s a limited window to take advantage of higher interest rates. The team also demystifies what really happens during a portfolio review, from tax efficiency checks to income stream analysis and personalized advice.
If you’re wondering whether to make changes now—or just want clarity about your retirement plan—don’t miss Stewart’s practical, easy-to-follow advice and a step-by-step checklist to protect your future.
