A few comments from listeners when they were asked what the learned from the webinar:

Changed my perspective on Annuities within a portfolio
- Paul W.

Guaranteed income must be viewed through BOTH a quantitative and qualitative lens in order to determine the most effective course of action for a client.
- David C.

I hadn't previously considered the degree to which cash and Treasuries, usually considered the safest of safe assets, are not in fact all that safe in retirement. But Blanchett is right: neither generates much income, so they aren't much help with longevity risk.
- Maria R.

Relative importance of interest rates and mortality benefits for younger and older annuity purchasers. Blanchett is one of my favorite presenters for CE. Thanks for having him.
