WealthVest Launches Its New Consumer-Facing Whitepaper Rethinking Retirement: Bear Market Insurance

BOZEMAN, Mont., Dec. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Market valuations are at levels reminiscent of major historical market corrections, such as the Wall Street Crash of 1929 on Black Tuesday and the Great Recession in 2007. In such times, it is crucial to ask yourself if you have bear market insurance.

WealthVest's newly created consumer-facing whitepaper, Rethinking Retirement: Bear Market Insurance, is a must-read for clients and financial professionals alike. It includes the following:

• A historical analysis of the major bear markets in U.S. market history.
• Information and analysis related to the percent gains required to recoup different one-year losses. This helps demonstrate the sequence of returns risk and how large of an affect a major one-year correction can have.
• A comparative illustration of where the stock market is currently valued to where it was prior to other major corrections.
• How fixed index annuities can lock in a percentage of market gains while ensuring principal protection, thus serving as potential bear market insurance.

Authored by Wade Dokken and Drew Dokken, the whitepaper highlights the fact that many market indicators are currently foreboding of a potential bear market. Rethinking Retirement: Bear Market Insurance also highlights the benefits that a fixed-index annuity could bring for clients who want to mitigate their risk for a potential market downturn.
