COVID-19 Struggles-advisors who make a living from “new” commission sales are really hurting right now. I’ve been advocating that advisors use trail fee commission products since 2011 when I did my first newsletter on them. Unfortunately, not many advisors listened. The ones that did have their trail fee commissions to lean back on at a time when new sales are tougher than ever.
Also, it’s amazing how many insurance advisors still don’t know that FIAs (Fixed Indexed Annuities) offer a trail fee commission option instead of an up-front commission option.
Why don’t advisors sell trail fee commission FIAs?
1) Many “insurance agents” don’t budget for trail fee commissions (they need the up-front commissions to pay bills).
2) Most “securities licensed advisors” still don’t sell FIAs and most don’t know that FIAs can pay upwards of a 1% annual trail commission.
The math of up-front commissions vs. trail commissions
Example: $1,000,000 FIA premium
1% trail commission vs. 6% up-front commission
Only a 3.5% ROR is assumed on the growth inside the FIA
Which do you prefer?
$60,000 up-front or $107,314 after ten years with the potential of over $280,000 over 20-years?
Most advisors like the long-term payoff of using trail fee commission products. But yet, not many advisors use them.
Hopefully, the light bulb will have gone on during this COVID-19 period when it comes to trail fee commission FIAs and advisors will do what they need to do in order to allocate at least 25% (if not 50% or more) of their sales to trail fee products.
Last a lifetime-some FIA products will pay the trail commission to your estate when you die. So advisors can create a lasting income stream for their heirs (pretty cool).
Getting your Series 65 license
I’ve also been advocating nearly 10 years now that insurance agents should get a 65 license.
Why?
1) So you can give more comprehensive advice to clients
2) So you can avoid regulatory issues
3) So you can create an annual income stream from Assets Under Management
