You might want to compare any of these fees with all of the financial benefits you will gain from the 1035 exchange to see if it is worth it in the long run.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 20, 2009

Annuity holders know that there are times where interest rates become too high, and they have to change financial strategies, or perhaps there are other features and benefits that are offered by different annuities. Upgrading or changing an annuity is possible, but it comes with taxation, and in order to avoid that taxation, annuity holders need to know about a 1035 exchange.

A 1035 exchange is a reference to a section of tax code that allows annuity holders to exchange their current annuity for another without taxation. In a recent article posted by InsuranceAgents.com, 1035 Exchange Explained, they point out it is not uncommon for annuity holders to try and improve their investments, but the fees that can come with the improvements often keep people from making those changes. “You should talk with your life insurance agent that guided you in purchasing your annuity in the first place to see if there are any penalties or surrender fees that you will incur by exchanging annuities,” states the article, “You might want to compare any of these fees with all of the financial benefits you will gain from the 1035 exchange to see if it is worth it in the long run.”

Investors who don’t know what a 1035 exchange is and own an annuity should speak with a life insurance agent about it, or Visit InsuranceAgents.com for more information.
