Annuity News Now will provide daily video and audio broadcasts from a wide variety of expert commentators from both inside and outside the annuity profession, as well as profile agents, planners and advisors who work on a regular basis with clients who are looking to determine the suitability and efficacy of an annuity in their planning. You can tune to Annuity News Now to find out the latest news, profiles and commentary as well as educational discussions on this profession and product.
