The gap nobody talks about

New York pre-retirees face three risks the standard retirement plan doesn't solve

You've built real wealth over 25–30 years of a career. The next question is how to protect it and convert it into income that lasts. Most retirement plans answer two out of three of the core risks — and leave the third unaddressed.

📉

Sequence-of-returns risk destroys retirement plans

If the market drops 30% in your first two years of retirement and you're drawing down 4% a year, you may never recover. The order of returns matters more than the average return. One bad sequence at the start can permanently impair a 30-year plan.

🏙️

New York is the most expensive retirement in the country

Healthcare, housing, taxes — New York retirement costs run 40–50% higher than the national average. A $1.5M portfolio that would last 30 years in most states may only last 20 in New York. Guaranteed income solves that math.

⏳

Longevity risk is underestimated

A 60-year-old professional today has a 1-in-4 chance of living to 92. Most retirement plans are stress-tested for 25–30 years. Guaranteed lifetime income removes the actuarial guesswork from the equation.

Common questions

What New York pre-retirees ask about annuities

A fixed indexed annuity (FIA) is an insurance product where your account earns interest based on the performance of a stock index — like the S&P 500 — up to a cap, with a guaranteed floor of zero. You get some of the market upside and none of the downside. The insurance company absorbs the market risk.
A variable annuity invests directly in sub-accounts (like mutual funds) and can lose principal. An FIA doesn't invest directly in the market — it uses index-linked crediting that can never go below zero. Variable annuities carry market risk. FIAs do not.
Base FIAs without income riders often have minimal to no direct fees — the carrier earns the spread between what the index makes and what they credit to you. Income rider add-ons typically charge 0.5–1.0% annually. We compare specific carrier products side by side in the Financial Resilience Diagnostic.
Most FIAs have death benefit provisions that pass the account value (or a guaranteed minimum) to named beneficiaries — bypassing probate. Income riders and enhanced death benefits vary by carrier and product design. We model this specifically in the diagnostic.
No. APB Financial Architect is an independent insurance specialist, not a registered investment advisor or financial planner.
