Question:
Good morning. Is it compulsory to use the services of a financial advisor when purchasing a retirement annuity? Regards
Answer:
Denyse, That depends on the service provider. With some providers - such as 10X Investments (that's us) - you can come direct and avoid adviser fees. But others (especially the life insurance companies) make it compulsory, and if you do not have an adviser, one will be appointed on your behalf, and you will pay for that service, whether you use it or not.
