Seasoned, annuities financial advisors in Worthington, MN
The right financial advisor for you depends on how you weigh location, expertise, experience, the clients they typically serve, and how they work with you.
If you're considering annuities to secure a steady income stream, you need an advisor who understands how to balance growth and income without locking you into unfavorable terms. A common mistake is choosing an annuity without fully grasping the fees, surrender periods, or how it fits into your overall retirement plan. Seasoned advisors bring decades of experience navigating these complexities, helping you avoid costly pitfalls.
- Fee structure clarity. Confirm how they explain all costs, including hidden fees and penalties, so you know exactly what you're paying.
- Income stream design. Ask how they tailor annuity payouts to match your cash flow needs and tax situation in Minnesota.
- Tax impact awareness. Since Minnesota has relatively high taxes, ensure they consider how annuity income affects your overall tax burden.
- Contract flexibility. Inquire about options for adjusting or exiting annuities if your financial situation changes.
Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
