Vanguard Introduces Online Annuity Service

The Vanguard Annuity Access platform  will offer their customers the ability to shop and compare immediate and fixed deferred annuities from multiple careers online for a 2% upfront fee.

This is great news for web savvy boomers who are looking to purchase fixed annuities online.

“According to the Kehrer-LIMRA Bank Fixed Annuity RateWatch, the spread between the yield on five-year CDs and the average effective yield offered by fixed annuities guaranteed for five years has turned upside down in recent months. The difference between the two products fell from 94 basis points in April 2009 to 8 points in April 2010. , “In May the rate spread between five-year CDs and five-year annuities inverted to negative 6 – fixed annuities were 6 basis points below CDs. This does not bode well for fixed sales in May” continued Cappelletti.”
