"Many retirees aren't necessarily seeking the highest possible return—they're seeking confidence and peace of mind," said Averill during the interview. "A retirement strategy that allows people to participate in growth opportunities while protecting principal can help reduce the stress and uncertainty that often accompany market downturns."

The discussion highlights how changing market conditions, geopolitical uncertainty, and major economic events have reshaped investor attitudes toward risk. As retirement approaches, many Americans place increasing value on protecting their assets while maintaining a comfortable standard of living.

Averill also discusses the innovative tools available through AnnuityAnswers.com, including publicly accessible educational resources and annuity analysis technology designed to help consumers better understand their options using historical market data and objective comparisons.

Tom Hegna, widely recognized as one of the nation's foremost retirement income specialists, brings decades of experience as an economist, author, speaker, and former senior executive officer with New York Life. Throughout his career, Hegna has delivered thousands of retirement planning presentations aimed at helping Americans retire with greater confidence and financial security.
