		<description><![CDATA[Great question. It&#039;s one that seems to get annuities or the people that sell them into a little hot water.  

What is your definition of competitive returns?  Annuities are not designed to compete with market returns.  That being said, Fixed Indexed Annuities might, I said might be able to do that. 

If you want an annuity to keep up with market gains during a long term bull market like we saw from 1982 thru 1999 you won&#039;t, but if you are looking to keep up with a market situation like we&#039;ve seen since 2000 it could.  I said could.

Annuities are not designed to keep up with the market, but they might.  Annuities should be utilized for what they will do not what they might do. 

I won&#039;t address Variable Annuities, I am not securities licensed so can&#039;t answer that end of the equation.  

Hope this helps.]]></description>
