That's the question many financial plans do not ask. It's worth finding out whether yours has an answer.

Unsure about the right time to invest?

Flying high or dipping low, timing the market is never easy. A dollar cost averaging (DCA) account, available within a variable annuity, removes the guesswork by investing in equities at regular intervals rather than all at once.
