I would suggest that you ask the bank advisor to give you a copy of the "entire" annuity contract, not the sales brochure. He will probably refuse to provide it. But, if he does give it to you, it will be a very large document that you will not understand. I have never been able to get an annuity salesperson to provide the contract they are trying to sell. I had one hang up on me when I asked. Their sales policy is to make you buy it before you can read it. Absurd.
I was wondering what the terminology was for what I needed. Entire annunity contract. I'll see about getting that and maybe take it to my CFP
