We met with Amerity Financial, Ross Beattie this week. He is located near the Brownwood hotel on Rt 44. 352 633 3777. Our experience with Ross was exceptional. He reviewed our finances, and the Variable Annuities we had in detail with us. Called each of the Annuity companies to obtain all info re status, past fees, transfer info, etc. Very professional and very knowledgeable.

In the end we transferred funds OUT of these Variable Annuities into Fixed Indexed. They have FAR lower fees, more income, better rates of return. All around a better financial move. We are extremely pleased.

Ross was a wonderful expert in this field, zero pressure, and provided unbiased information of possible moves. We highly recommend him for anyone with a Variable Annuity, or considering Annuities in general. Annuities may have a bad reputation, BUT if invested properly in the best instrument they can be a great source of income with solid security.
You don’t realize this is a “reverse advertisement” for Mr Beattie.
Any financial advisor who is pushing annuities isn’t a financial advisor, he’s an annuity salesman - and won’t be getting calls from most on TOTV.
My dad was talked into 2 annuities, before he let me get involved in his financials. I was upset when I saw that.
