I think a few years of higher interest rates and lower market returns will put some momentum in these products.
But the higher inflation might have an offsetting effect on popularity. A lot of people won't buy without an inflation adjustment, and you can't buy that to the extent you used to be able to.
Inflation risk can be mitigated by buying term certain annuities. Once you’re past 80, perhaps it’s safe to buy a life annuity.
