Compounding with 1035 Exchange
A 1035 exchange allows an investor to continue deferring payment of income taxes on an annuity, further increasing investment returns.
Similar to the example of tax-deferred compounding, this example goes one step further to illustrate the increased benefit obtained by rolling over an investment via a 1035 exchange.
